James was stunned when he found his son Liam crying in the attic. As he comforted his frightened son, James had no idea that this moment would reveal a secret long hidden in their house.
In 2018, the family’s cedar trees were damaged by deer. As they prepared for their replacement, they noticed something unusual among the trees on the east side of the garden. Initially mistaken for an electrical box, it turned out to be much more puzzling.
In May 2018, landscapers arrived to remove the damaged trees and discovered that the metal box was actually the entrance to a massive hornet’s nest. The size of the nest and the unusual sounds, „similar to the sound of a car engine in distress,“ amazed James and Liam.
James called a specialist in hornet control, but when the specialist encountered the unique bee colony in the attic, he refused the job. Despite contacting several pest control services, James was advised to wait until winter. Faced with worsening conditions and unbearable noise, James decided to take matters into his own hands.
