This article is about Beehive house. For other uses, see Beehive.

A beehive house is a primitive type of building made from a circle of stones topped with a domed roof. The name comes from the similarity in shape to a straw beehive.

Beehive houses are known from as far back as around 2000 BC in Ireland and Scotland, and some were still being built as late as the nineteenth century.
