The true horror is that insurance won't cover it by calling it preventable

Where's Susan Sto Helit when you need her?

I can picture it.

Susan comes stomping in with a fireplace poker.

"Out!"

The swarm forms up into a gigantic, slavering beast and menaces her.

"OUT!"

Then it slumps dejectedly and flows out the window.

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.

The original article contains 412 words, the summary contains 136 words. Saved 67%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
