Obviously bees don't make the hives - humans do that.

The hives we see today were designed to make it easier to keep bees and harvest honey.

Before the current type of hive, it was necessary for the beekeeper to destroy the nest each autumn in order to take the honey.

Bees don't form new hives. A hive is an artificial home for bees supplied by a beekeeper so that he can keep his bees in a location that suits him. Once the bees have been put in the hive they will build comb inside the hive so that the queen can lay eggs and produce more bees and also create a 'larder' for the bees to store honey.
