READING:
Children can be afraid of the dark and have nightmares in bed. They are scared of noises at night, or of imaginary monsters. For one little girl in the USA, the monster was real. Three-year-old Saylor kept telling her parents about the "monsters in the wall" of her bedroom. Her parents thought the "monsters" came from Saylor's imagination. Her mother said Saylor had just seen the movie Monsters, Inc. She thought that was why Saylor was seeing monsters. Saylor's parents were shocked when they found out there were 60,000 bees behind Saylor's bedroom wall.
Saylor's mother called a beekeeper, who said the insects were honeybees. These are protected in the USA, so they could not be killed. The beekeeper used a camera to see the heat patterns behind the wall. He had never seen so many bees in a house. He drilled a hole in the bedroom wall. Saylor's mother said: "They just came pouring out like a horror movie." The beekeeper removed 45 kg of honeycomb. He captured the bees and put them in special boxes. They are now living in safety on a honeybee sanctuary. The bees caused more than $20,000 in damages to the house.
