Bee HiveOnly domesticated honey bees live in hives. Honey bees living in the wild will usually build a nest in the hollow of a tree trunk or under the eaves of someones house. Bumble bees very often nest in holes in the ground.Honey bees can live in a hive or in a hollow tree or in the attic of a house etc.
It could be said the bees in beekeepers' hives have been domesticated, but that's not really true. Bees are very much creatures of instinct and they react to stimuli, but they don't have the brain power to reason and they almost certainly don't recognize the beekeeper as 'their owner'.Beekeepers learn to manipulate the bees' environment to make the bees do what is wanted. This usually works, but not always -- there are many books about beekeeping, but the bees can't read so don't always do what is expected.Even in law, bees are classified as wild animals, not farm stock or domestic. And they don't make good pets!

bees live in beehives
Bees were domesticated around 4,500 to 5,000 years ago, with evidence suggesting that ancient civilizations, particularly in Egypt and Mesopotamia, began keeping honeybees for their honey and wax. This practice likely evolved from the harvesting of honey from wild bee colonies. Over time, beekeeping techniques improved, leading to more efficient honey production and the spread of domesticated bees across various cultures.
Yes honey bees live in Mexico
Only honey bees (Apis Mellifera) live in large colonies of up to 80,000 bees because they work as a team and are known as social bees. Other bees live individually or in small groups and are known as solitary bees.
It depends on the species of bee. With solitary bees they will live alone, but with social bees they live with the colony. Honey bee drones could not live alone because they depend on the worker bees to feed them.
Bees live everywhere in the world except for the Arctic and Antarctic.
