bee box
Colony's wooden home
A bee box is a wooden container designed to house a colony of honeybees, typically consisting of stacked rectangular boxes with removable frames where bees build honeycomb.
Beekeepers use them to manage hives and harvest honey: We added another bee box when the colony outgrew the first one.
Also called a hive box or Langstroth hive after the design's inventor.
