裡面擠滿了忙碌的蜜蜂
這一支看的是蜂巢的裡面：一個小空間，很多個體，同時都在動。
noun · B1
A place where bees live. It usually means the box a beekeeper keeps them in so that they make honey people can collect, and it also covers a nest the bees build for themselves.
蜂巢；蜂箱
核心畫面
Hold two things from the same object and the whole word opens up. Look inside a hive and you see a crowd: thousands of bees in one small space, every one of them moving, nobody standing still. Look at an old hive from the outside and you see a shape: a smooth rounded dome, wide at the bottom, tall on top. English has borrowed both. The crowd gives us a place buzzing with busy people. The dome gives us the hair piled high on a head.

同一個東西，記住兩件事，這個字就整個打開了。往蜂箱裡面看，你看到的是「擠」：幾千隻蜜蜂在一個小空間裡，每一隻都在動，沒有一隻停著。從外面看舊式的蜂窩，你看到的是「形狀」：一座圓圓滑滑的小丘，底下寬、上面高。英文把這兩樣都借走了。裡面那個擠，長出了形容熱鬧地方的說法。外面那個形狀，長出了那種堆得高高的髮型。From the word’s history
The supplied source gives Middle English beehyve, equivalent to bee plus hive. Nothing is hidden inside this word: it is the two things put together, which is why every later use is a picture taken from the object itself rather than a meaning that drifted.
packet 附的來源說它來自中古英文 beehyve，就是 bee 加 hive。這個字裡沒有藏東西，它就是兩個字擺在一起。所以它後來的每一個意思，都是從這個實物身上取下來的畫面，不是意思飄走了。

外面那個圓圓高高的形狀
這一支跟蜜蜂沒有關係了，只留下外形：一座底寬頂高的圓丘。
