He ended up finding with my husband a, the size of a ballpoint pen cap in the corner of the attic vent. That's how small it was. And said, okay, they're coming into the house. Let me see where they're going. What's underneath the floorboards. And that's when my husband said, that's our daughter's room.

We had a thermal imaging device that he just connected to his phone to show heat maps. And so bees, he says, they produce a lot of heat, especially if they're honeybees, because they're making honeycomb and they're producing honey.

It created this huge gap in between each of the wall panels, each of the studs, so that it created this huge, beautiful home for them.
