USAChild hears “monster” in the wall – mother makes crazy discovery
A family in the USA is confronted with a huge nest of bees. Previously, the daughter thought she had a “monster” in her room.
-
In an old farmhouse in Charlotte, North Carolina, a family discovered a huge bee nest with over 50,000 bees behind the nursery wall.
-
The family’s daughter heard noises at night that she described as “monsters.”
-
A beekeeper was called in and was able to use a thermal imaging camera to locate the nest and remove 40,000 bees.
In a 100-year-old farmhouse in Charlotte,… US state of North Carolinaparents made an incredible discovery following their daughter claimed to hear “monsters” in her bedroom wall.
A closer examination finally revealed a huge bee nest with over 50,000 individuals directly behind the wall of the children’s room. It is believed that the insects entered the building through a hole in the wall approximately two centimeters in size. Since their intrusion, they have been working primarily at night on their honeycombs, which are said to have reached a weight of 45 kilograms.
Room needs to be sealed
Ashley Massi’s class first tried to calm her oldest daughter, who was talking regarding “monsters” in her bedroom wall. After the family noticed bees in their attic and a pest control company consulted, it turned out that they were honey bees.
A beekeeper discovered the enormous bee nest using a thermal imaging camera, as People reports. Over the first two days he was able to remove around 40,000 bees. The rest of the nest will be removed in the coming days. The family must seal their daughter’s room for the duration of the work.
Queen needs to be relocated
Ashley further explains that removing the bees is only possible by relocating their queen, a task that the beekeeper has already successfully completed.
Yet thousands of the insects remain in their home. She says: “A few thousand bees have died because their queen is no longer there, that’s sad. We left the window open in the hope that the remaining bees would fly out.”
Bill for $20,000
She also learned that bees can still sting you even if they appear to be dead. “It’s like walking through thousands of landmines. “We have to wear rubber boots to avoid being bitten,” the mother continued.
In addition to getting rid of the bees and cleaning the room, the family is now faced with a bill of around $20,000 (around 18,000 francs). She needs to re-insulate the wall and replace the electrical wiring.
