MARTINEZ, Ga., May 1 (UPI) -- A Martinez, Ga., woman says her home has been swarmed by as many as 10 million bees.

Theresa Manning said she phoned a bee removal expert after she saw the insects flying into her attic and heard scratching coming from behind her walls, WSB-TV, Atlanta, reported Thursday.

Bee wrangler Jason Rehr said he expected to find multiple hives in the attic, but instead found the bees had turned the structure into a giant hive with honeycombs on the ceiling and walls.

"This is the mamma-jamma here, this is the biggest one I've ever seen," Rehr said.

He said he plans to move the bees several miles away from the house to hives that have been prepared.
