Two Massive Honeycombs And 13 Queen Cells

Finally, after roughly four hours, Glover removed all of the bricks he needed to unearth the hive. And it was huge, with even Glover calling it the most significant pieces of honeycomb he had ever seen. He was also grateful that the honeycomb didn’t attach to the bricks, so it was virtually undamaged.
