壁に「モンスター」を聞いた。 それは約5万蜂とハニカムの100ポンドでした

Saylor was three. She kept pointing at the wall by her closet. The family had been watching Monsters, Inc. Her parents handed her a spray bottle of water and called it monster spray. That went on for about eight months in a century-old Charlotte farmhouse. Then Ashley Massis Class put a thermal camera on the wall. The orange blob was a hive. The hole in the drywall was a horror movie. About 50,000 honeybees had come in through a dime-size gap near the chimney and worked their way down into the toddler’s room.

Ashley brought in beekeeper Curtis Collins instead of a can of poison. The extraction took three visits. Day one: roughly 20,000 bees and more than 100 pounds of comb, triple-bagged because the honey was blowing out the plastic. There was another cluster, with a queen, still in the walls. Collins hunted the queen so the colony could be moved alive. When they were gone the floorboards were a sticky sheet. Night terrors stopped. Saylor looked at Collins and said he was not a beekeeper. He was a monster hunter. Homeowner’s insurance called it pest damage and walked. Ashley put the repairs, wiring, and cleanup north of $20,000 out of pocket.
