Beschreibung für beehive
A beehive is an enclosed structure in which some honey bee species of the genus live and raise their young. Natural beehives (typically referred to simply as "nests") are naturally-occurring structures occupied by honey bee colonies, while domesticated honey bees live in man-made beehives, often in an apiary. These man-made structures are typically referred to as "beehives". Only species of the subgenus ''Apis'' live in hives, but only the western honey bee (''Apis mellifera'') and the eastern honey bee (''Apis cerana'') are domesticated by humans. The beehive's internal structure is a densely packed matrix of hexagonal cells made of beeswax, called a honeycomb. The bees use the cells to store food (honey and pollen), and to house the "brood" (eggs, larvae, and pupae). Honey bees in the subgenus ''Apis'' use caves, rock cavities and hollow trees as natural nesting sites.
