Molina said the bees were there for at least two and a half years. The couple finally had enough and called in the professionals.

"So we're trying to, like, get rid of most of them, but without professional help we can't. So now we almost … They're biting me!'" Molina screamed, running from the home during an interview with reporters.

Beekeepers removed more than 3 million bees from the apartment. They also extracted nearly 60 pounds of honey.

Beekeepers said the insects got in through a small hole and built a home in the kitchen cabinet.
