beehouse
Apian colony housing
A beehouse is a structure that shelters beehives, protecting them from weather while allowing bees to come and go.
The term also applies to smaller wooden boxes with holes or tubes designed to attract solitary bees for pollination: We installed a beehouse in the garden to help the mason bees.
