Terrified little girl, 3, told mom and dad there were monsters in her bedroom... it was 60,000 BEES

What seemed to be a young girl's imagination was actually something that led to a shocking discovery in their North Carolina house.

A beekeeper found around 60,000 honeybees after three-year-old Saylor Class insisted that there were 'monsters in the wall' of her Charlotte home. 

According to the BBC, her mother Ashley Massis Class did not think anything about what her daughter said and even she gave her a bottle of water so that she can 'spray away any of the monsters at night.'

The family has since gone viral on TikTok after Ashley posted a video of the discovery last week and clips of the aftermath over the last few days.

'They just came pouring out like a horror movie,' Class told BBC.

Class claimed the honeybees damaged the house's electric wiring and that it will cost more than $20,000 in damages.

Ashley Massis Class and her husband were repeatedly told by their daughter Saylor, three, that there were 'monsters in the wall'

Ashley Class did not think anything of her daughter's statements until she and her husband found swarms of bees in her chimney and attic

Saylor had repeatedly told her parents about the 'monsters in the wall' for a few months before the discovery. 

Ashley and her husband began to realize that those monsters could be bees after she discovered clusters in her chimney and the attic.

Saylor's parents began to believe the three-year-old was hearing the honeybees buzzing close to her bedroom ceiling. They called a pest control company, which confirmed the 'monsters.'

The couple then contacted a beekeeper named Curtis, who found bees going toward the floorboards in the attic. Curtis confirmed the thousands of pests by using a thermal camera to scan the walls. 

The camera 'lit up like a Christmas tree' and the beekeeper concluded that the critters have been living in their home for around eight months.

He later told BBC he had never seen a beehive go so far down into a wall. 

Curtis, who Saylor calls 'the monster hunter,' had his work cut out for him and Ashley posted a TikTok video of some of the work he's done to remove the honeybees.

The Class family has gone viral on TikTok ever since Ashley posted a video of images from the thermal camera and clips of Curtis doing the bee extractions

According to Ashley, Curtis removed 20,000 bees and more than 100 pounds of honeycomb from the wall a day after the critter discovery.

He managed to find the queen bee in the walls and he moved her to another hive to make her 'new home.'

Saylor couldn't help but stare at the bees that Curtis had collected so far and she seemingly appeared to be unafraid of them.

Ashley posted another TikTok video of the third bee extraction yesterday, which showed a hole in Saylor's bedroom wall.

Curtis found the queen bee during the first extraction along with over 20,000 honeybees that have since been put into a new hive in a sanctuary

Update 5 on BeeGate. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Beekeeper’s Association connected us with Curtis, who has helped us with this whole process. Count estimated at 60,000 bees so far 😅 #savethebees #bees #charlotte #momsoftiktok #toddlersoftiktok

Curtis has since removed between 55,000 and 65,000 honeybees and around 100 pounds of honeycomb

By the third extraction, Curtis had removed between 55,000 and 65,000 honeybees. Like the queen bee, all of them have been safely relocated into a hive at a honeybee sanctuary.

'Curtis has been a godsend helping us with this whole process,' Class wrote in the video.

Ashley claimed in a TikTok video the family must wait two weeks before the hole in Saylor's room can be sealed.

'Chalk this up to as one of the items I did not think I would be having to deal with while being 10 weeks postpartum,' she added in the video description.
