What is the difference between a trap hive and beehive?

Trap Hive

  Trap hive is a special tool that people put in the field to entice wild bees to enter naturally. This kind of beehive requires strong corrosion resistance, and can not have odor. The function of beehiving is to lure wild bees into the hive, so we need to do some things to make the beehives more attractive to bees.
  Trap hives are mainly wood beehives, and plastic buckets. Plastic buckets are lighter than beehives.

Beehive

  Beehive is the most basic equipment in the maintenance and management of the bee colony, and it is also the fixed place where the bee colony lives and produces honey, royal jelly, beeswax, bee pollen, propolis, bee venom, bee chrysalis and other bee products. The beehive is placed in the open air for a long time, withstands the wind, rain, sun, bees live and breed in it, store feed, so the beehive must be durable, uniform size standards, and its structure must conform to the living habits of bees. The box should be made of solid, light, non-deformable wood and fully dry.
