People who are not professional beekeepers should use caution when in the vicinity of a beehive. Professionals wear protective clothing and use special tools to deal with bees. Without these items, someone near a beehive should take care not to disturb or bother the hive. Honeybees will only sting if provoked, so if left alone they will usually not bother anyone.
Honey bees live in a nest, often called a 'hive.' One hive can hold up to 80,000 bees, most of them workers. It is often located in a hollow tree. The hive is made of honeycomb, which are tightly packed hexagonal cells made of beeswax. They use the hive to store food and house their young.

The queen bee of a hive does not leave the nest by any means. Without a queen bee, a hive simply cannot exist.
