A beehive is an enclosed structure in which some honey bee species of the genus live and raise their young. Natural beehives (typically referred to simply as "nests") are naturally occurring structures occupied by honey bee colonies, while domesticated honey bees live in man-made beehives, often in an apiary. These man-made structures are typically referred to as "beehives". Only species of the subgenus Apis live in hives, but only the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) and the eastern honey bee (Apis cerana) are domesticated by humans.
The beehive’s internal structure is a densely packed matrix of hexagonal cells made of beeswax, called a honeycomb. The bees use the cells to store food (honey and pollen), and to house the "brood" (eggs, larvae, and pupae).
Question by puffer: we are living in mexico and found a swarm of bees that made thuer home in a drum?
how do we get them into a bee hive box , we want to start raising bees
What do you think? Answer below!
Set your bee hive box next to the drum. Don’t disturb them now wait until the weather is cool and the vegetation is dormate. Put some honey in the new hive they will be hungary and move to their new house as soon as it warms up.
