BEEHIVE CONCEPT

BEEHIVE IS AN ENCLOSED STRUCTURE IN WHICH SOME SPECIES OF HONEY BEES GENERALLY LIVE AND RAISE THEIR YOUNG. THE BEEHIVE'S INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STURCTURE IS A DENSELY PACKED MATRIX OF HEXAGONAL CELLS MADE OF BEESWAX CALLED HONEY COMB. BEES USE THESE CELLS TO STORE FOOD (HONEY AND POLLEN) AND TO HOUSE THE "BROOD" SUCH AS EGGS.



SINCE MY CONCEPT IS BASED ON BEEHIVE, I'LL BE LOOKING AT THE HEXAGONAL GEOMETRY, AS WELL AS PATTERNS OF NATURAL BEE AND HOW THE BEEHIVE WORKS WITH MY LIBRARY DESIGN. A LIBRARY HAS CLASSES INSIDE OF IT AND READING ROOMS AS WELL WHICH IS SIMILAR TO BEEHIVE THAT KEEPS THE BEES INSIDE ALONG WITH THE HONEY THEY MAKE AND THE EGGS THEY LAY.
