WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) -- Firefighters had to be called after a plan to evict a swarm of bees went up in smoke.
Residents used gasoline to start a fire in hopes of smoking out a hive of bees from under their home Thursday when the house caught on fire, Battalion Chief Virgil Powell said.
``It wasn't a very good plan,'' Powell said.
Only minor damage was reported and no one was injured.
Firefighters removed the hive by flushing it out with water, Powell said.
