James’ otherwise uneventful day took a sharp turn when he discovered his son Liam crying in the attic. As James rushed to comfort his distraught child, he had no idea that their home was about to reveal a hidden secret.
It all started back in 2018 when deer damaged the arborvitae trees in the family’s yard. While preparing to replace the trees, James noticed something peculiar between the trees—what he initially thought was an electrical box turned out to be far more intricate.
When landscapers came in May 2018 to remove the trees, they stumbled upon a large metal box that served as the entrance to a massive hornets’ nest. The size of the nest and the strange, engine-like sounds coming from it left James and Liam uneasy, leading them to believe something significant was hidden inside.
After contacting several pest control companies, James was advised to wait until winter to deal with the nest. However, the loud noises and worsening situation prompted him to take matters into his own hands. Armed with protective gear, he attempted to remove the nest, but the hornets retaliated, stinging him multiple times.
In a brave move, young Liam used a smoker to temporarily calm the hornets, inadvertently uncovering a shocking discovery hidden within the nest. Although James and his wife Emma were proud of Liam’s courage, they couldn’t agree on how to handle the unsettling revelation.
