A beehive typically refers to the container you offer to a swarm of bees for a nesting site. Usually it allows to put frames with a wax wall for the bees building their cells onto those.
What you may have is a bee nest. As you mention a soccer ball for comparison, I suspect it's round. Given that bees usually build their wax nests to fit (which makes it very hard to get it out intact) I suspect that what you have may be an old yellowjacket nest. Yellowjackets typically build nests which are enveloped by a paper wall and they do look a bit like a soccerball from the outside. Is the substance of the nest papery or is it indeed wax?
If it is a yellowjacket nest, forget about selling. If there are indeed at least a couple of pounds of beewax involved, then you could try to offer it to a beekeeper who will know what to do with it or could at least tell you where to go.
