A beehive with close to 60 thousand bees was found on the inside the ceiling of a house in Brisbane, Australia at the end of August. The bees that built the hive chose the place because it was a protected area – it is common for bees to look for shelter in wall openings or ceilings when they do not find holes in trees.

The owner of the house was not bothered by the bees when she found the hive. However, 10 months later, the number of bees and the hive grew so much that the only option was to ask for specialised help to return the insects back to nature. During the time they were in house, the bees produced 50 kg of honey – about the weight of two adult golden retrievers.
