A beehive is an APIARY, which is a site where beekeeping is practiced. An APIARY is a place where beekeepers keep and manage their bees, usually in the form of hives. Beekeeping is the practice of managing honeybees in order to produce honey and other products such as beeswax, pollen, and propolis. Apiaries are often located in rural areas, but can also be found in urban areas. Beekeepers use various techniques to ensure the health and productivity of their bees, including providing food sources, controlling pests, and monitoring hive conditions.
