Beehive

We have an example here in Wellington of a building at least taking its name from an insect home, The Beehive. I am not sure if the architect was influenced by a real beehive or not, but bees are often used  by people for all sorts of reasons to support their ideas or beliefs. The other image is from the Eastgate Building in Zimbabwe, which has adapted ideas from termites cooling systems.
