Beehive

A beehive is a structure built or naturally occurring to house a colony of bees, primarily honeybees. These structures can be made of wood, plastic, or natural materials and provide a protective environment for the bees, including the queen, workers, and drones. The beehive is carefully designed to optimize honey production, brood rearing, and overall colony health. They feature honeycombs, where bees store honey, pollen, and raise their young, essential for bee survival and honey production, as well as being very important for plant pollination.

• The abandoned beehive, its entrance partially blocked by dried leaves, stood as a reminder of a previous beekeeping operation.
