During an urban transformation project in Avcılar, a wall of a building was demolished, revealing around 25 kilograms of honeycomb. The homeowner, Murat Buğday, noted that bees had been nesting behind his living room for years, exclaiming, "There was treasure behind our living room."

The building in Ambarlı neighborhood was set for demolition due to damage from a 6.1 magnitude earthquake on April 23, 2025. Buğday explained that the gap formed between two buildings during the quake allowed bees to settle in, creating a hive that spanned three floors. The hive was discovered when demolition work began.
