A person who keeps or tends bees; a beekeeper; an archaic or regional term.
From 'bee' + 'head' (a person, chief); older English formation parallel to other head-compounds like 'masthead' or 'ahead,' meaning someone associated with bees.
This word shows how '-head' was historically used to mean 'person in charge of' (like in 'masthead'), making 'beehead' an elegant parallel to modern 'beekeeper,' which eventually replaced it.
