This is the best summary I could come up with:

When three-year-old Saylor Class began complaining of monsters in her bedroom, her parents thought it was just a figment of a child's overactive imagination.

It began to make more sense when Ms Massis Class noticed bees swarming in clusters near the attic and chimney outside their 100-year-old house.

Ms Massis Class called a pest control company that found the winged insects were honeybees, a protected species in the US.

She and her husband contacted a beekeeper who noticed the insects were travelling towards the floorboards of the attic - right above her daughter's bedroom.

The beekeeper - whom Massis Class's daughter began calling the monster hunter - opened the wall to reveal a large honeycomb.

Ms Massis Class has had to screen off the room between extractions to prevent the bees from buzzing around her home.
