Bees swarm Pepper Tree in front of Santa Barbara City Hall

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.-A swarm of bees made a home out of the tall tree in front of Santa Barbara City Hall.

The city put caution tape around the tree and called Santa Barbara Bee Rescue on Wednesday afternoon.

The contractor, who said he just goes by "The Bee Whisperer" got most of them out of the giant Pepper Tree.

He even has custom car plates that read BEE-RESQ.

He said he will be taking the hive to a local honey maker.
