The Beehive

Nature
The Beehive is a mountain in Banff National Park, Alberta, rising above Lake Louise and forming part of one of the park’s best-known mountain landscapes. J. Willoughby Astley named it in 1890 because its shape reminded him of a beehive. It is also called the Big Beehive to distinguish it from the nearby Little Beehive, a smaller summit with a similar shape. Hiking trails from Lake Louise and Lake Agnes provide access to the mountain.
