There are many different types of hives in use throughout the world. In the US, the main type of hive is the Langstroth. In the UK, the commonest is the British National but there are several others in use, eg Langstroth, WBC, Commercial, Dadant, Smith, Warre and top bar. In East European countries and Africa, there are types of hives in use which are practically unknown in Western countries.

Where did rome get its honey from?

The Romans got honey from beehives like we do nowadays, except for the fact that ancient beehives were different. They were cylinders made of clay tiles and some were made of mud, straw and dung. One end of the beehive was smoked to drive the bees out for the harvest, which was done by pressing the beeswax to squeeze out the honey. This meant that they provided more beeswax and much less honey than modern beehives.


Why do bees live in beehives?
