The Beehive is one of New Zealand’s most iconic and distinctive government buildings, located in Wellington, at the heart of the country’s political center. Officially known as the Executive Wing of the New Zealand Parliament Buildings, the Beehive is famous for its unique, cylindrical design, which was conceived by architect Sir Basil Spence in the 1960s. Completed in 1977, the building’s shape is said to resemble a beehive, reflecting the busy, buzzing activity of New Zealand's government.
It houses the offices of the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers, as well as a number of other key government departments. The Beehive’s exterior is made of concrete and glass, with a striking, modernist appearance that stands in contrast to the more traditional architectural style of the nearby Parliament House.
Visitors can take guided tours of the Beehive, where they can learn about New Zealand’s parliamentary system, view historical artifacts, and explore the legislative process. The Beehive is a symbol of the country’s democratic governance, offering both an architectural and political landmark in Wellington.
