Then, something unexpected happened.
Two days after Max’s disappearance, a beehive began forming under the Harrisons’ porch. At first, it seemed like a nuisance. Some neighbors were concerned for their kids and pets. One even suggested calling pest control.
But Dr. Martin, a local wildlife expert, stepped in. “Let’s wait,” he said. “These bees aren’t behaving normally.”
He noticed they were strangely calm—and focused. They didn’t act aggressive. They didn’t swarm. And then, something truly bizarre happened: the queen bee left the hive and began drifting from house to house.
