A bee hive is a structure where bees live and work together. It is made up of hexagonal wax cells that the bees create to store honey, pollen, and to raise their young. The hive serves as a home for the colony, providing protection and a place for the bees to gather and communicate. Inside the hive, there are different types of bees, including the queen bee, worker bees, and drones. The queen bee is the only fertile female, responsible for laying eggs. Worker bees perform various tasks, such as foraging for food and maintaining the hive, while drones are male bees whose primary role is to mate with the queen.
