Javier Tovar didn't know the hive was there until he tried to change a bulb in a ceiling light and the bees attacked him.
The roommates quickly called in an exterminator.
"We thought maybe there may be a fist-size hive, but he just pulled out a basketball-sized hive. It's amazing," Tovar said.
The exterminator discovered that the hive belongs to a colony of Africanized bees, which are even more aggressive than normal bees.
