The invention relates to a hive structure for the exploitation or breeding of bees. According to the invention, this hive structure comprises a plurality of superimposed elements, namely: a base element (4) provided with a one-piece or removable base element (2), which base element (4) is adapted to receive honeycomb frames; - a feeder element (6); - a cover member (7); and - optionally, at least one lifting element (5) between said base member (4) and said feeder element (6); each of said elements (4, 5, 6, 7) is delimited by a belt of walls (41, 51, 61, 71) whose horizontal general section is square or rectangular, and of which at least one of the upper quadrangular peripheral edges and / or lower is provided with interlocking means (44, 54, 64) for its interlocking with an underlying juxtaposed element (4, 5, 6, 7) underlying or overlying; in addition, said nestable elements (4, 5, 6, 7) are made of expanded polypropylene, whose density is between 50 and 100 g / L; and at least some of the corners of said peripheral edges provided with said interlocking means (44, 54, 64) comprise a manual access reservation (8), to facilitate the operations of separation of said nested elements. L'invention concerne une structure de ruche pour l'exploitation ou l'élevage des abeilles. Selon l'invention, cette structure de ruche comprend plusieurs éléments superposés, à savoir : - un élément de base (4) muni d'un élément de socle (2) monobloc ou amovible, lequel élément de base (4) est adapté pour recevoir des cadres alvéolés, - un élément nourrisseur (6), - un élément de couvercle (7), et - éventuellement, au moins un élément de hausse (5) entre ledit élément de base (4) et ledit élément nourrisseur (6) ; chacun desdits éléments (4, 5, 6, 7) est délimité par une ceinture de parois (41, 51, 61, 71) dont la section générale horizontale est carrée ou rectangulaire, et dont l'une au moins des bordures périphériques quadr
