Beehive is the most basic beekeeping tool, and its main function is to provide breeding places for bees. Because of different design ideas, beehives are divided into traditional beehives and live-framed beehives, and because of different suitable bee species, they are divided into Chinese beehives and Italian beehives. In addition, living frame hives can be subdivided because different numbers of nests and spleens can be accommodated.

Extended data:

A trace chemical information substance released by bee glands is called pheromone, also called pheromone. Communication between individuals through air or contact is a kind of "language" for the same kind of individuals, and the accepted individuals can understand the meaning of this "language" and act on behavioral or physiological responses.

Bees use sound and light to transmit information. The so-called sound is the sound of bees flapping their wings. For example, the sound made by the queen bee's wings is called "singing", and "singing" is transmitted through the nest and spleen. This is because the queen bee's vibrating wings are driven by the vibration of the pectoral muscles. Because the pectoral muscle is close to the nest and spleen, it spreads its vibration sound waves, and when bees feel it, they will have a reaction to stop moving.
