A beehive is like a big, cozy house where lots of bees live together. It's not like the houses where we live, but it's perfect for bees. It's made of wax that the bees make themselves.

Bees live together in a beehive because it helps them stay safe and warm. It's also where they make honey, which is their food. The queen bee, who is the mom of all the baby bees, lives there too.

The inside of a beehive is like a big maze made of little rooms called "cells." These cells are honeycomb-shaped, just like the pictures you see on breakfast cereal! The bees store honey in some cells and raise their babies in others.

Bees make their beehive by secreting wax from their bodies. They use their special body parts to build the cells, one by one. It's like they're building a tiny house with lots of little rooms.

Bees are very busy in their hives. They take care of the queen bee, the baby bees, and the eggs. They also make honey by collecting nectar from flowers and bringing it back to the hive.

Sometimes, you might see a beehive in a garden or a field. But remember, bees are working and might not like to be disturbed. If you see a beehive, it's best to watch from a distance and not touch it. If you're interested in the honeycomb, let's follow the tutorial to learn how to draw it out!
