If it's a good deal there might be something wrong with it. That's what one Pennsylvania couple is discovering. Sara Weaver and her husband found a home in the country that was everything they asked for. It was in their price range, it was in the school district they wanted, everything seemed perfect. When they bought the 1872 farmhouse, they were told there were bees in the wall, but since they bought it in the winter, they didn't see any and didn't think too much about it. When spring came around, that's when they started to notice the bees coming around. They didn't want to do an inspection because they wanted to move in as quick as possible. They ended up calling a local bee keeper who had been out to the house 4 years earlier and didn't remove the bees because the woman that lived there before didn't want to pay the money to have them removed. The bee keeper ended up removing an estimated 450,000 bees that were part of three colonies and had been living in the house for 35 years. The removal cost them $12,000. The bees now live on the bee keepers honey farm where he keeps them in a man made hive.
