Ashley Mathis Klaas is a young American mother who is raising three young daughters with her husband, the eldest of whom is less than 4 years old.
Starting on April 25, Klaas "serialized" a series of videos on social platforms, recording a strange incident at home.
The eldest daughter of the Klaas family, who lives in a farmhouse in North Carolina that is more than 100 years old, had previously told her parents that there were "monsters" on the wall in her bedroom that would make a "buzzing" sound at night that kept her and her sisters awake.
Due to the young age of the daughters and their speech was not very fluent, Klaas did not take it to heart at first. The family was recently watching the "Monsters, Inc." cartoon together, and she thought it was her daughters who were immersed in the plot of the film and couldn't extricate themselves.
In order to appease her daughter, she still invited a "monster hunter" to come to the house to "practice exorcism", and found a very strange scene. When professionals scanned the bedroom wall with a thermal imager, they found a rectangular pattern that somewhat resembled a human shape, with a maximum temperature of nearly 80 degrees Fahrenheit (about 26.7 degrees Celsius) in the center.
The results of the thermal imaging scan were striking
The Klaases' first instinct was to fear that there were living people or corpses hidden inside the walls. The professional picked up a hammer and tapped it lightly on the wall, and several bees flew out. In addition to this, Klaas recalled, there was also "black liquid coming out of the wall that destroyed the pink wall that I painted for my daughter". The professional quickly closed the bedroom door and agreed to find someone to break the wall for a full inspection the next day.
The next day, an employee from the beekeeping company chiseled open the wall of his bedroom, only to see "the craziest scene of his career in more than 40 years", with about 50,000 bees swarming out of the bedroom and the bedroom covered in honey.
The employee spent the whole day cleaning up about 10,000 bees, as well as a hundred-pound hive.
Next, the beekeeping company sent more employees to get rid of more than 20,000 bees, and successfully found the queen bee in the entire colony and brought the queen to the bee sanctuary.
A large number of bees were found after the walls were chiseled
For the Klaas family, the finishing touches are far from over, as there are still about 20,000 bees left in the house, and nearly half of them are "sad to death" because they have been separated from the queen bee, and the bee carcasses and sticky honey have made a mess of the home. They need to remove all the bees, clean the room, and insulate the honey-contaminated circuits.
Klaas was glad that his eldest daughter had discovered the problem in time than for the current trouble. After all, the gypsum wall panels of this old farmhouse will one day be "broken" by tens of thousands of bees, and if three young children are stung by bees, the consequences will be unimaginable.
