For one little girl in the USA, the monster turned to be real. Three-year-old Saylor spent months telling her parents that there were "monsters in the wall" her bedroom. Saylor's parents thought the "monsters" came their daughter's overactive imagination. Saylor's mother said the little girl had just seen the Pixar movie Monsters, Inc. She thought that was the reason Saylor was seeing monsters. However, Saylor's parents were shocked when they found there was something their daughter's bedroom wall. There were 60,000 bees.

After the mother found the bees, she called a beekeeper. The beekeeper said the insects were honeybees. These are a protected species the USA, so they could not be killed. The beekeeper used a thermal camera to see the heat patterns the wall. He said he had never seen so many bees a house. He drilled a hole the bedroom wall and hundreds the creatures flew out. The mother said: "They just came pouring out like a horror movie." The beekeeper has removed 45 kg of honeycomb. The beekeeper captured the bees and put them special boxes. They are now living in safety a honeybee sanctuary. The bees caused more than $20,000 damages to the house.
