WHAT IS A BEEHIVE?
Do you know what a beehive is?  It is a home for bees to live in. It is usually
a dome or box like structure and it is an enclosed area for the bees sometimes
it is a man made structure. Each beehive has a different colony of bees.
Wild bees and honey bees have completely different hives. The wild bee hives
are dome shaped and the honey bee hive is normally rectangular or  box like. 


HOW IS A BEEHIVE HIVE MADE?
Do you know how beehives are made? The bees use some sugar contents
from the honey and turn it into wax. The wax comes out of the bees pores.
Then bees chew the wax until it is soft and they make hexagonal cells called
a honeycomb. There are lots of them in the beehive. The Beehive is
comparable to a bird's nest to protect the bees. The beehive is made mostly
of beeswax to make the hive. 


WHAT IT IS THE BEEHIVE USED
FOR?
Have you ever wondered what beehives are used for? The bee hive is used
for storing food, living in it and making honey. The bees store the food and
honey and pollen in the hexagonal sells. They also use the beehive to rase
eggs larvae and pupae. The bees make honey in the 
hive and to live in it.
