bee hives
Buzzing colony boxes
Bee hives are structures where colonies of honeybees live and produce honey.
In the wild, bees build hives in hollow trees or sheltered spaces; domesticated hives are wooden boxes designed for beekeeping.
The term extends to any place of busy, coordinated activity: The office was a bee hive before the product launch.
Also spelled as one word: beehive.
