Cut out a big hive Monday from a farm house.

Owner says bees in this wall since 1968. Comb looks old, but how would you tell if it is 42 years old? Surely the bees recycle, renew the wax. I imagine the hive probally crashed and was reoccupied many times over those years...still very interesting story. Same house had a hive in the front wall.
