Joe, bee hives were found - the discovery was made when two pinnacles, which had been made unstable by nesting jackdaws, had to be taken down stone by stone and rebuilt. The bees entered the hive through a hole in a carved flower, behind which was a large hollow. These hives were never intended to be a source of honey. They were there purely to protect the bees from inclement weather.
