A "hive" is a structure where bees, particularly honeybees, live and work together. It serves as their home and is designed to protect the queen bee, worker bees, and their young. Hives can be found in nature, such as in tree cavities, or they can be man-made, like the wooden boxes used in beekeeping. Inside a hive, bees create hexagonal wax cells to store honey and pollen, and to raise their young. The hive is a bustling community where bees communicate through dances and pheromones, ensuring the colony functions efficiently and thrives.
