In a shocking revelation, a North Carolina woman named Ashley Class discovered that the monsters her daughter had been hearing for eight months were actually a swarm of 50,000 bees living inside the walls of their house. In a TikTok video that garnered over 9.1 million views, Ashley shared the terrifying discovery with the world.
Using a thermal camera, Ashley captured footage of her daughter’s bedroom, showing a large hole in the wall, a massive orange heat signature from the hive, and thousands of bees swarming around the room. The extraction process was documented in subsequent videos, with a beekeeper removing 20,000 bees and over 100 pounds of honeycomb from the wall.
Ashley explained that it only takes a few bees to start a colony, which can quickly grow to thousands. The bees had built a 100-pound honeycomb over the months, leading to a messy eviction process. Despite the challenges, Ashley and her family managed to remove the bees from their home.
Unfortunately, the insect invasion didn’t end there. Ashley later discovered another colony with a queen inside the walls, requiring yet another extraction. The infestation left their house dripping with honey, resembling a giant biscuit.
The harrowing experience serves as a cautionary tale about the hidden dangers that could be lurking within the walls of homes. Ashley’s story has captivated viewers worldwide, highlighting the importance of regular home inspections to prevent such bee infestations.
