Family discovers ‘terrifying’ gigantic bee colony in wall of home with blood-like honey oozing down wall and $20,000 in damage

Oh my
This is actually pretty wild and terrifying
Yeah, you can’t believe these fucking kids a single word they say
I think 50.000 bees in the wall qualifies as a monster
What? I first read that it was 60,000 bees in the wall, and now you say it’s 50,000? Next thing you know, some other rag’ll report it’s 40,000 before further investigation reveals it wasn’t more than 20,000 — and that’s before we hear from 10,000 poor, trapped bees themselves and find out it was really just a couple hundred drunk bumblebees trying to find their way home from the pollen bar. Pfft.
The first publication said over 50,000. Not sure where the other numbers came from.
Not only were they able to get approximately 50,000 bees out, but the beekeeper “found the queen and were able to move [the surviving bees] to a bee sanctuary.”
The BBC said it was 60,000, but I was just being glib and referencing an ancient dad joke:
“What do you mean, you want to borrow $20? What could you possibly need $10 for? Why don’t you ask your mother for $5. Fine, here’s $1, now get.”
That’s because people just kept stealing 10,000 bees every time new people were involved. Gotta check their pockets and bags on the way out of the house else they’ll take your bees!
Were the parents deaf?
The bees were relocated to a bee sanctuary.
For those wondering.
Bees are friends, and if you have honeybees in your home, try to get them moved rather than exterminated. I think some beekeepers will do this pro bono.
At least this kid’s monster produced sweet honey. Most just produce mold or the occasional anthropomorphic bandits.
I met someone with this problem once, it was a listed heritage building so after they discovered the bees they had to put up with it for weeks while they worked out a solution that would have minimal impact on the building.
Wonder what they ended up doing.
better call the HSH for tips on the most fearsome cryptid of all - Bees.
