An archaic or literary term for a beehive, hive structure, or place where bees are kept and managed.
From Latin 'alvearium'; used historically in English texts to refer to any managed bee dwelling, from ancient times through the Middle Ages.
In old literature and poetry, 'alveary' became a poetic word for beehive because it sounded more elegant than plain talk—it's the kind of word medieval scholars used when describing the industrious lives of bees.
