Richard Martyniak, an entomologist with All Florida Bee Removal, said the bees are likely Africanized honeybees, which he said have been spreading in the area faster than the native honeybees, and the original large hive may have held up to 60,000 of the insects.
Martyniak said he has recently been called to remove Africanized bees from several locations in the area, the most recent being a hive off U.S. 301 Monday morning.
