When Shenicka Shakelford went to find out why, the loud hum gave the answer away.

Caution tape surrounded the oak that was full of honey bees Monday afternoon. They were treated with an insecticide and the tape was an added precaution.

A big bee problem takes a professional touch and that's why Titus Mills was called out to Shenicka Shakelford's home on Hastings Street.

"Today, the Jehovah's Witnesses people passed by the house, but wouldn't come up," Shakelford said, laughing. "Then they said, 'You know, you need to get that taken care of.'"

When Shakelford approached the massive oak outside her front door, all she could hear was a loud hum. She grabbed a telephone to call the county.

"I was concerned about them attacking someone," she said.

An estimated 3,000 honey bees were living inside of the oak.

"I wanted to get it taken care of before my baby came home. She likes to walk outside," Shakelford said.

"All they need is this much space and they can make a home," Mills said.

In this particular case, they couldn't have made themselves home in a worst place, right in a residential neighborhood along the sidewalk.

"All that traffic has got to annoy them," Mills said.

The tree is in a right-of-way, so it's the county that's picking up the cost of the bee removal.
