Thousands of buzzing bees have set up shop at a Coral Gables school off Madruga Avenue.

The swarm is a threat to students, but the bees have met their match. 

"The moment they sense you're going to attack, they will attack you first," said Rolando Calzadilla, of Man V Pest Environmental Inc.

Calzadilla is working to remove the 50,000 unwanted guests. 

"We keep kids from getting stung, people from getting stung," said Calzadilla. 

After a 50-foot climb sporting gloves and a mesh hat, Calzadilla went on the attack, knocking out hundreds of bees in seconds. 

"The more effective I am, the safer I am, the safer I keep the people around me, because Africanized bees can attack up to a quarter-mile," Calzadilla. 

The goal is to take out queen bee, which can lay 1,500 eggs in one day.
