James’s day became less dull when he noticed Liam crying in the attic. He was unaware that a long-kept secret in their home was going to be exposed as he raced to comfort his scared kid.
The story began in 2018 when the family’s arborvitae trees were damaged by deer. As they prepared to replace them, they saw something odd between the trees on the east side of the yard. It was far more complicated than what was first believed to be an electricity box.
In May 2018, when landscapers came to remove the damaged trees, they discovered that the metal box was not just any ordinary fixture—rather, it was the entrance to a massive colony of hornets. James and Liam were shocked by the size of the nest and its peculiar sounds, which sounded like a struggling car engine, and they deduced that something significant was kept inside.
James called a hornet control expert, but after observing the strange hive in the attic, the expert rejected James for the job. Upon contacting many pest treatment businesses, James was advised to wait until winter. The situation was becoming worse, and James decided to take solo action in response to the overwhelming cacophony.
James attempted to tear down the nest by himself after donning protective gear. He was frequently stung by hornets and experienced discomfort. Liam bravely set out a smoker to temporarily pacify the hornets in an attempt to protect his family, but inadvertently revealed an astonishing discovery within the nest.
James and his wife Emma got into a heated argument over the unsettling information, with Emma appreciating Liam’s boldness but fearing for his safety.
