Levine had no idea the home had a bee problem until roofers notified her. Bumblebees became federally protected last year, however, meaning killing the buzzing horde wasn’t an option. Professionals tried a non-lethal method. Honey-soaked homes aren’t unheard of: In Arizona, Scottsdale resident Kelsie Hughes tried to change the battery in her hallway smoke detector only to discover it honey covering its inside. There, up her attic, she found gobs of honey running in long rows. Luckily for Hughes, she also found dozens of dead bees in the attic, a hint that the hive wasn’t active. She still said it would cost perhaps thousands of dollars to repair the bee-induced mess.
