What is another word for beehive?
Pronunciation: [bˈiːha͡ɪv] (IPA) 
Beehive, a structure that houses honeybees, has several synonyms. Some of these include apiary, hive, colony, swarm, and nest. Apiary is often used to refer to a place where bees are kept and tended to by a beekeeper for purposes of honey production. Hive, on the other hand, refers to the individual structure that houses a bee colony. Colony and swarm refer to the actual bees within the hive, while nest is typically used to describe a natural, unmanaged structure that a colony inhabits. Regardless of the term used, the beehive plays an important role in the production of honey and the pollination of crops.
