Beehive house

A beehive house is a building made from a circle of stones topped with a domed roof.

Early European settlers in the Karoo region of South Africa built similar structures known as corbelled houses.

In Southern Italy, these houses are called trulli while its prehistoric Sardinian versions were referred to as nuraghi.

[2] A town called Harran in Turkey is also the location of houses that mimic the beehive architecture and they are still in existence today.

The structures, which are clustered together like a termite colony, were said to have been constructed as windowless cones because it is the only way to achieve a roof without timber.
