Beehives

A beehive is a structured colony of honeybees, functioning as their home. It consists of a series of hexagonal wax cells where bees store honey, pollen, and raise their young. The hive is organized with a queen bee, worker bees, and drones, each playing specific roles. Worker bees gather nectar, defend the hive, and care for the young, while the queen's primary role is laying eggs. The hive's design allows efficient storage, communication through bee dances, and effective temperature regulation, supporting the health and productivity of the colony.
