Where are bees kept?

Bees are kept in drawer like cabinets called beehives. The boxes have frames ( up to twelve) with wires and a wax foundation for them to build their honeycomb on. The top boxes (called 'supers') are for honey storage, and the lower boxes are for brood ( raising the young bees). This part is where the queen bee lives.

A collection of hives is called an apiary.
Individual colonies are kept in hives. A group of hives together is called an apiary.
