Chinanews.com, February 25th. According to the New Zealand Tianwei.com report, the couple Carla Ferguson and Mickey Smith living in Huntly, New Zealand's North Island, couldn't believe that a nightmare was hidden in the wall behind their new home ... … Behind this wall, there is a dense and dense beehive that is 1 meter wide. The couple couldn't believe their eyes.
Cara said that the cats in the house first noticed something wrong. After moving, the cat always stared at the wall. Later, she once saw about a dozen wasps flying under the kitchen light.
"In the beginning we thought it was bees and didn't want to kill them. Then we recruited beekeepers and they said, 'No, these are horse bees'," Cara said.
Pest removal specialist Robbie Stapleton then came to help the couple with the inspection. He estimates that there may be as many as 7,000 European or German wasps that have lived inside the wall for six months to one year.
At first, Robbie removed some wasps, but later found that there were not only adult wasps in the house, but also larvae to near-hatching.
"When he opened the wall, we saw a lot of pony bees trying to drill out of their cocoons. It was terrible!" Said the couple, but fortunately, they discovered in time that everyone in the family, including them, 14 The month-old baby girl was not harmed. The cats and dogs they keep are also safe.
After carefully observing the bee hive, Robbie said, "It is definitely a large hive, the largest I have ever seen, and it is also built in the kitchen wall, which is very special."
The entire hive was measured to be 1.1 meters long and 10 cm thick.
Robbie said that although this is not a common occurrence, he is not particularly surprised to find wasps in the wall, because wasps like warm environments.
It is reported that wasps like food residues, sugary liquids, and also picnics, barbecues and trash cans.
