WHEATLAND — It has been known by Platte County Public Library staff for several years that there was a bee hive above the ceiling tiles in one of the back rooms where books are kept.
The hive has recently been inactive, but in mid-May, library staff noticed something dripping from the ceiling, and they were fairly confident that it was honey. After having a maintenance man drill into the ceiling for further inspection, large amounts of honey poured out of the hole.
ABOVE: Even though Platte County Public Library staff have been aware of a past bee problem for many years, they didn’t expect something of this size to be found above one of the ceiling tiles.
