TikToker Jeff Russell (@mr.mrs.beerescue) shared a video of him removing the bee colony.

Jeff called it the “bee rescue from hell” in his TikTok. Video about the distance.

“This took 12 long and agonizing hours,” he captioned the clip.

“There was 140 pounds of honeycomb structure, three stories high and wind gusts of 40 miles per hour,” he added.

Jeff was shocked when he opened the roof and saw the hive and honeycombs for the first time.

“Oh my God. “What do I see here?” he said. “This is huge.”

The bees buzzed around Jeff’s head.

“They’re mad at me, I can’t imagine why,” he explained. “How am I supposed to find the queen in this thing?”
