Structures or containers where honeybees live and produce honey, or a tall piled hairstyle popular in the 1950s-60s.
From Old English 'beo' (bee) and 'hīf' (hive). The word originally referred to dome-shaped structures, and the hairstyle was named for its resemblance to the shape of a beehive.
The beehive hairstyle was so named because the teased, voluminous structure actually resembled an actual beehive—but here's the wild part: real beehives are engineering marvels with perfectly hexagonal cells that maximize space, while human beehive hair was all about maximum volume with no actual organization!
