The things that you find in an old home's walls always fascinate me. They range from the valuable to the sentimental and sometimes just plain odd. While demolishing what used to be the outside walls I unearthed this....

A well over two foot long beehive. Yikes! I'm pretty happy the bees look to be long gone, cause this is one monster of a hive. The wall must have vibrated constantly from all the hive activity when it was colonized.
