A beehive or structure specifically designed for keeping and managing honeybees; a place where bees are housed.
From Latin 'alvearium' (beehive), derived from 'alveus' meaning belly or hollow container; literally 'a cavity for bees.'
The term alvearium reminds us that ancient Roman beekeepers understood something key—bees naturally live in hollow cavities, so why not create human-made versions to harvest honey safely?
