Tomorrow I'm looking at a removal from an old corn crib-barn that has what appears to be 2-3 separate hives in one wall. I won't know until I get into them for sure, but it's either an 8-10' wide hive with 3 large entrances, or three....I'm obviously hoping to find 3 with queens. Jackpot.
I'll take some pics and share when I can.

Dumb question, but what do you do with a single hive that large when you find one? How large of alive can one queen support?
I found a tree a storm blew out that had one of the largest hives I'd ever seen with multiple entrances. Everything was gone, but I counted endless layers of comb stretching through multiple hollow branches that all joined together in a main trunk I could almost crawl in.
