Hive in the Tower

Scale the tower of Southwind Village and locate a means to stir the silithid hive into activity. Bring back anything unusual you may uncover when doing so to Layo Starstrike at the Valor's Rest graveyard of Silithus.
Encrusted Silithid Object

Description

The hive needs to be addressed in Southwind Village, and I think I know a way to get at them. It's been my experience that the silithid hives are very sensitive to their environment; this explains their attacks when hearing the death wails of the spirits.

The silithid are strongest in the tower - the one with the mass of wasps circling it. Scale the tower and jostle the hive into activity. Report back what you learn, but be careful! If you uncover anything that might help, bring it to me.

Progress

Well, did it work? You're still in one piece, which is good news. Did you find anything?

Completion

What the... what is it?

It has the shape of a... box, maybe? It's encrusted over something fierce. Wait, there a portion here that's exposed... is that a book underneath all this gunk?

I think you've stumbled across quite the find here, <name>... well, at least I hope it is. Perhaps it is a journal or a log from ancient times, preserved in this shell.

I think I know a way to find out what this is.

Open the pod on top of the tower at 60, 53. Take the goo. Two spawns will appear when you open the pod, they need to be killed together within 10 secs. So bring one down to about 2-3% and kill the other, then kill the first. Loot the Encrusted Silithid Object, and deliver the quest.

The best comment on this quest was by some guy over at Thottbot a year ago:

============
Lamest quest idea ever.

""Yeah, there's this giant wasp nest inside that tower over there. Smack it was a stick a coupla times, get 'em all agitated, and come back and tell me what happens. Oh, and bring me anything unusual you find in the process.""

Yeah, I'm full of stinger-holes retard, THAT's what happened. You don't have to be an effing nature freak DRUID to konw that's what wasps do when you piss them off.

The strange thing I found is what I think is part of my SPLEEN. Thanks for the quest.

Solo'd as a Level 57 Warrior
You don't have to fight to reach to top of the tower.
Just run to top of the tower and die there.
Then recover your corpse there will be two enemies.
Dring a pot and fight only one of them .
When you kill it it will drop the object.
When you get it run for your life or ressurect from spirit master
You completed the quest...

I ran to the top of th tower died, rezzed at the top and opened the goo thingy. Two wasps spawned, killed one then died. I got back up and turns out yet another wasp spawned. So I loot the corpse of the wasp I killed, and jumped off the tower. Yelling ""You'll never take me alive"" and the impact from the jump killed me. So in this quest, I've discovered that the cenarion circle is made up of druids who want me dead.

I jumped off the tower with 1600 health and i survived. I yelled at the druid afterwards and got some odd looks from a passing Tauren, but it was worth it.

Well this quest was a bit unclear but thanks to WoWhead and you guys I finally found out.
Being a huntress level 80 it's important to not have any pets out or they will kill the mobs you need to kill.
