A bear has overturned two hives and is trying to prize out honey from a third while being attacked by bees. Illustration of a fable by Aesop. A beehive is an enclosed structure man-made in which some honey bee species of the subgenus Apis live and raise their young. Several species of Apis live in colonies, but for honey production the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) and the eastern honey bee (Apis cerana) are the main species kept in hives.
