Trinity Episcopal Church, one of Mobile’s oldest churches, recently discovered an unexpected guest—a massive beehive hiding up in its bell tower for almost ten years!
Can you imagine? For all this time, the bees were busy making honey, and it wasn’t until a few months ago that anyone realized how big the hive had grown.
With around 40,000 bees and 40 pounds of honey, it was a buzzing situation (pun intended).
Some choir members even got stung, but they kept on singing without missing a note!
These Bees Weren’t All Bad
Even though the hive was causing some trouble, the bees were actually doing some good too.
Bryan Pearce, the Senior Warden of the church, explained that the bees were probably helping out in the church garden next door.
They were pollinating the altar flowers and even the fruits and veggies the church uses in its food ministry.
So while no one loves an unexpected sting, these bees were quietly doing their part to support the community.
