One of the more frequent and popular geysers in Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin. Beehive has predictable eruptions every 11 to 14 hrs, which last for ~ 5 minutes and can be heard a quarter mile away. Beehive is one of the tallest geysers in Yellowstone. Its fine, veil-like plume has been measured to 218 feet. Beehive is within view of iconic Old Faithful geyser.
Another perspective in comments.
If I lived closer to Yellowstone I'd become a geyser groupie trying to see as many as I can. They are amazing.

The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.
~ Lewis Mumford
Beehive erupts from a 4 foot tall, smooth sided cone that reminded the early Washburn Expedition of 1870 of an old fashioned straw beehive, hence the name.
"Beehive Geyser is taller than Old Faithful and eruptions last about a minute longer than Old Faithful. While Old Faithful is beautiful, Beehive Geyser is arguably one of the prettiest geysers with its graceful, tall slender jet of water that reaches up to 200 feet (60 meters) if the wind is calmer. Top measurement was at 218 ft.
Since the boardwalk is close, there’s it the potential of getting drenched to the skin in the spray. While the water that erupts from the cone is hot, the spray quickly cools to quite a cold shower which is not a bad thing on a hot summer’s day. Noticing the wind direction is a good thing to do when watching an eruption from the boardwalk. There are geyser gazers (geyser enthusiasts) who bring ponchos and umbrellas just to stand in this different type of “holy water.” Also, know that the water has silica in it, and if allowed to dry on surfaces (camera lenses, glasses, etc.) it can leave a mineral deposit that’s difficult to clean off. Wipe them off quickly or keep them stowed away." yellowstonenaturalist.com
I found that out the hard way, with the mist ruining a new polarizer. Lesson learned.
Have a fabulous week!
The Big Beehive - that's the name of this massive rock - from another point of view, further up the Lake Agnes Trail. You can see the many layers of the rock quite well here.

Rock formations known as the Beehives at the Valley of Fire. To give you a sense of the size of these formations notice the people on the far middle right.

Not for burning Beehives, but for burning sawdust and scrap-wood. Also know as a Wigwam Burner or TeePee Burner in the US.

The Beehive has been a pub and various restaurants and is yet again waiting new management in the village of Thorner, West Yorkshire
Thorner (LS14) is 8 miles southwest of Wetherby and has no street lighting
The village appears in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Torneure" (also "Tornoure") means "thorn bank". The ancient parish of Thorner covered 4400 acres in the wapentake of Skyrack in the West Riding of Yorkshire

The western honey bee (Apis mellifera) was one of the first domesticated insects. It is still the primary species maintained by beekeepers for its honey production and pollination activities. With human assistance, the western honey bee now occupies every continent except Antarctica.
