When you think of common household pests, an 8-foot-long beehive probably doesn't come to mind, but that's exactly what was found in a Virginia apartment's ceiling.

Virginia Wildlife Management and Control said the massive hive was discovered in the living room ceiling of an apartment in Richmond, Va. on Monday. How many bees can live in an 8-foot beehive? The answer is roughly around 150,000 bees. Luckily, this one wasn't fully occupied, according to WBOY.

Imagine living in an apartment with more than 100,000 bees as your roommates, all buzzing about above your head as you make that second plate of mac and cheese -- we're not judging -- and settle into the couch for two hours of "The Bachelor". What a life.

The good news is you would never have to buy honey again because the wildlife control company said the hive produced about 90 pounds of honey. Unfortunately, they could only salvage about 20 pounds of it.

The hive of Italian bees was estimated to be around 2 years old and likely got into the ceiling through openings in the siding, so let this serve as a mental reminder to check your siding for holes.
