NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — A New York City woman had some unexpected roommates living in her apartment: 50,000 bees.

As WCBS 880’s Ginny Kosola reported, beekeepers removed the swarm from Frieda Turkmenilli’s ceiling this week after her neighbors in Queens alerted the building manager.

“They had some kind of infrared device so when he went with the infrared into your bedroom he said, ‘Oh my god, you have a hive in your ceiling,'” she said.
