A couple discovered their home had been turned into a giant BEEHIVE - after honey started dripping down the walls.

Kate Dempsey, 41, initially dismissed the dark patches as damp.

But the sweet smell made her reconsider and she pulled up the floorboards at home in Folkestone, Kent.

This revealed the "insane" find - huge six-foot pieces of honeycomb and litres of honey.

Kate, a diversity and inclusion advisor, said: “We’d never seen anything like it. The sheer volume of the hive was huge.

“We kept cutting these floorboards away and more and more honeycomb kept appearing.

“The smell hit you immediately. It was this sweet stench and we had this really sickly smell for ages - [I just felt] disbelief really.”

Kate was quoted up to £10k when she tried to find a company to clean up all the honeycomb.
