Beehive is a small, quiet place in Stillwater County, Montana, in the United States. It's called an unincorporated community. This means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town.
Beehive shares its ZIP code (59001) with a nearby town called Absarokee. It sits high up at 4,629 feet above sea level. You can find Beehive on special maps made by the U.S. Geological Survey.
A Look Back: Beehive's History
Beehive started as a small community a long time ago. It was built in a deep valley. This valley is right next to the Stillwater River. The river flows west of Absarokee.
For many years, Beehive had its own post office. This post office was open from 1910 until 1953. Even though the post office closed, Beehive is still a special place. Today, many people visit Beehive to get away from busy city life. They enjoy the quiet mountains and often have seasonal homes there.
