A Carseldine couple have been left surprised after a two-meter-long beehive containing 10 kg of honey and more than 60,000 bees was found in their home.
The couple said they had been stung by bees while leaving the home, and could even hear them inside.
Beekeeper Paul Wood explained that bees park in a tree for a few days before they migrate to a new home during springtime, but when they cannot find a space due the limited trees left standing, they choose the cavities of houses.
