Beehives also have various shapes, which can be roughly divided into honey page type, lotus type, crypt type, hanging bag type and earth hole type.

1, honey page style

Bees are generally domesticated. Their nests are built in artificial beehives (wooden boxes) and hung on the top of the hives in a large form. Beekeepers call them honey pages and pick them and process them into honey or other honey products, such as royal jelly.

2. Shower style

Small groups of bees usually build their nests in eaves, windowsills, stone ridges and other low parts, with as few as 3-5 nests and as many as dozens; A swarm of bees built their nests on branches about 50 cm in diameter. There are hundreds of beehives, which are shaped like hanging lotus. Some people describe this kind of hive as' the house is upside down, and the hidden bees accumulate poison, which is a hive'.

3. crypt type

Some bees nest in the soil, and usually see a single-celled structure. There are also crypt hives built by bees, which are relatively rare and cannot describe their specific forms.

4, hanging bag type

Usually, nests are built in trees, depressions on cliffs, under the eaves of houses and on beams. Its shape is spherical or nearly spherical.

5. Soil hole type

Because of the different kinds of bees, for example, we have a golden bee, commonly known as buckwheat bee, whose nest is in soil holes, caves and tree holes. In addition, the largest wasp, matchmaker and smaller flying bees are all built in earth holes. This nest is shaped like a hanging bee.
