Two more residents reported on Monday that they couldn’t leave their homes for fear of swarming bees.

James Taylor, owner of Fidelity Construction and a local bee expert, told The Bahama Journal that the two new cases of bee invasion can be added to the many other times he has been called by Ministry of Agriculture and Grand Bahama Port Authority officials to address the problem.

"I’ve been called many, many, times before," Mr. Taylor said.

"I have done, in my judgment since the problem of the bees began about two years ago, just before the first storm, about 200 to 300 hives that I’ve destroyed for the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and the GB Port Authority," Mr. Taylor said.

Mr. Taylor said his name was on record as the one to call when Freddie Bosfield reported a bee problem to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.
