What is a bee hive made off?

Honeybees are cavity-nesting bees so you won't see their hive in the wild unless their tree has fallen down or their home has been opened some other way. If you do get to peek inside of it you will see parallel rows of wax comb covered with honeybees.

Domestic honeybees live inside of a stack of square boxes, about 18 inches on a side and between 2 and 6 feet tall, depending on how many boxes are stacked. If you could look inside these boxes you would see frames of wax comb that the bees live on, usually 10 frames per box.

What is the name of a bug or insect that has about 40 legs?

You are probably referring to the millipede of which there are about 1000 different species. They are somewhat misnamed since they have anywhere from 36 to about 400 legs (depending on the species), but they sure look like they have a million.

You might also be referring to the centipede which has 24 to about 200 legs, again depending on the species.

You can easily tell the two apart by the fact that the millipede has a rounded body with two pairs of legs on each segment, whereas the centipede has a flattened body with a single pair of legs per segment - that is if you can get one to stay still long enough to tell.

If insects lay so many eggs why don't insects overrun the garden?

A) Most insects are quite small, making their presence in a garden or yard minimal.
B) Many insects prey on the eggs, larvae (immatures), and adults of other species as well as their own (depending on food availability). Predation is not limited to other insects either; birds love to eat insects, I know for a fact cats will 'play' with larger insects, for the amusement factor. If not consumed, the dead carcass will not last long on most occasions due to other insects, etc. that rely on carcass' for food.
C) Not all insects live above ground, making their presence less noticeable.

hope that helps.
