This was a hive that had established itself in the roof space above the bathroom of an old cottage. We were able to access the hive by taking off only one board panel. The removal was aided by the fact that the insulation kept the hive from spreading out too much. You can count 8 combs in the photo, each was about 18 inches in length. There were another 4-5 smaller comb sheets to the left that are out of view. The owner wasn't sure how long the hive had been present, most likely 6+ months.
