The Beehive, located in Wellington, New Zealand, is not a beehive in the traditional sense; rather, it is a distinctive architectural landmark. Its official name is the Executive Wing of the New Zealand Parliament Buildings. The building’s nickname, “The Beehive,” comes from its unique shape resembling that of a traditional woven beehive or skep.
