Hundreds of bees swarm Northside apartment complex

Neighbors are worried after hundreds of bees swarmed a building at a Northside apartment complex.

“My daughter saw some bees flying in her room and she was like, ‘Mama, mama, mama!’” said a woman who lives there, who did not want to be identified.

She said she was worried about her daughter’s safety at Mission Pointe Apartments.

“I didn’t want it to sting her and she have a reaction to it because we don’t know if she’s allergic,” she said. “These kids in this building, that building all go to Biscayne Elementary and they walk the sidewalk to school and they come over here after school and play every day.”

The apartment complex manager declined to comment on what the problem is or whether anything is being done to make the bees go away.

One neighbor told Action News Jax she saw someone near the bees with a ladder on Thursday morning, but management would not confirm it was someone they sent.
