There are various types of hive on the market but roughly 18 inches square and the height will depend on how busy your bees are. The busier they are, the more you will have to add another piece of hive called a 'super' so that the bees have enough room to store their honey.

The queen gives off a pheromone: a special scent which has the effect of keeping the workers calm and ensuring them that the queen is present. The larger a hive gets the more this pheromone is diluted and eventually there is not enough to have its full effectiveness, at which point workers begin to think the queen has gone. This limits the size of a hive.
