A little girl said monsters were in her bedroom. It was 60,000 bees
Saylor Class had complained of "monsters in the wall" of her room at their farmhouse in Charlotte, North Carolina.
She said her homeowner's insurance won't cover anything pest-related because they deem it preventable.
So the real monster was the insurance company. What a twist!
And yet people still pay for insurance, for some reason.
My bank forces me to have insurance in order to get a mortgage :(
well, that's one way to get a kid to be afraid of bees.
Poor kid. hope she never got stung? doesn't sound like she did.
In elementary school, our gym got infested by bees or wasps (don't remember exactly) and they were everywhere. We still were forced to do sports class in there. I got stung twice and then ran outside, bawling my eyes out. I'm now in my 30s and have a severe phobia of bees, wasps and hornets. Bumblebees are fine though for some reason.
Because bumblebees are cute and just want to play?
Sorry you had to deal with that. Your school should be ashamed.
My parents forced me to play outside when I was very young, and I didn’t want to. Stepped on what’s probably a mud wasp nest, and two wasps circled my leg and stung me a bunch. I cried a lot.
Anything yellow and black bug near me makes me MAD DASH AWAY. I got made fun of for a long time, “oh they won’t hurt you, just ignore them”
Like motherfucker I CANNOT IGNORE THEM YOU TWAT
I love fluffy bumblebees though. I still panic before I confirm fluff.
The fuckidy fuck is happening there
So she was basically correct.
Bees aren't monsters.
When I was very little, maybe 2, my mum had sat me down in front of Sesame Street while she did some chores. Not long after I came running into the kitchen “mummy mummy there’s a birdie in the front room!” She said yes, that was big bird and to go back in and watch it. I kept running back to her increasingly more upset about the birdie until she came into the living room to find a pigeon had come down the chimney and was irately trying to escape. I know I was too young to remember it, but I swear I can recall the feeling of vindication!
my favorite fun fact about bees and bee nests, is that they actually produce a lot of heat, so if you have a nest of bees in your wall, you can tell because your wall will be hot.
Meanwhile, the Beekreeper escapes the scene unnoticed and prepares to summon its apian horde elsewhere.
Shoutout to the absolutely fantastic pen&paper RPG "Heart" in which one of the classes is the Deep Apiarist. Including the ability to have the bees crawling through your body that doubles as their hive animate it while you sleep, allowing you more active hours a day.
Had something similar. My bedroom was small and under the roof, and for some time I heard scratching noises at night over my bed. I assumed that were mice, so I set up some mouse traps in the attic. No success. The bait was gone, but none of the traps were sprung.
So, one evening when the noise got annoying, I went to investigate closely. And found a large wasps nests, right on the other side of the sheet rock of my bedroom.
Jesus. That sounds eerily like my experience. Heard scracthes in the attic and thought it was mice. Woke up one morning with a dead wasp in the bed and having been stung. Thought nothing of it. Woke up a few days later with two dead wasps in the bed and having been stung. Huh, that's weird. Then when I woke up one morning I saw a wasp crawl between the planks in the ceiling. Called exterminators and they sprayed the attic. The wasps had built their nest in the isolation and had chewed through it down to the planks... The next week I had hundreds of dead (and a few alive) bees in the room every day and I had to sleep on the sofa..
I can't believe it's not posted here yet, so here we go.
Ehm.
NO, NO, NOT THE BEES! ALL OVER MY EYES! AARGHHH
I'm covered in Bees
Not if you use the same insurance company.
!twosentencehorror@sh.itjust.works
This is the worst thing I've read today
This looks like a job for... DR. BEES!
As reported by the Bee Bee, See.
Oh man, just heard about this in my beekeeping class.
So she was obviously lying and maligning the bees.
Too soon to watch Bee Movie?
Always. Always too soon.
Ya like jazz?

Has this been happening for a while? How tf did this happen?
It's not that uncommon. When a beehive is doing really well, it'll "split", meaning they'll raise a second queen and the new queen will leave and half of the colony will go with her to establish a new hive somewhere. This is called swarming, and it's the their version of reproduction. (Tangent: Contrary to popular belief, honey bee swarms are usually very docile since they don't yet have a home to defend.) Once they find a suitable location to settle, they'll move in. Without humans building things, a suitable location would usually be something like an old hollowed out tree. But humans build great beehive homes. Old houses with small openings between siding panels that allow bees into the walls are a common favorite.
Un-bee-lievable.
sounds pretty hive-oc
My suitcase full of BEES should help with that!
