The hive is where all the bees in a colony live. A colony is like one big family where more than 20,000 bees live together. In the hive, bees build honeycombs out of wax they make in their bodies. They shape the wax into six-sided tubes where they store honey, nectar, and where the queen lays her eggs. Look under the doors to see what is going on in each layer of the hive. This is where bees store the nectar collected from flowers. This is where bees keep the honey they make to eat during the winter. This is where the queen lays her eggs. Can you see the baby bees?
