beehives
Buzzing wax chambers
Beehives are structures housing colonies of honeybees, either natural (hollow trees, rock crevices) or man-made boxes used in apiculture.
The word extends to anything resembling a beehive's shape or activity—a beehive hairdo is a tall, rounded style popular in the 1960s, and a beehive of activity describes a place buzzing with energetic work: The office was a beehive on deadline day.
