beehive
Colony's wax dwelling
A beehive is a structure where bees live and store honey, either a natural formation or a box kept by beekeepers.
The word extends to anything resembling one—a beehive-shaped oven, or the towering hairstyle popular in the 1960s.
Figuratively, a place buzzing like a beehive is full of activity.
