Beehive (New Zealand)

The Beehive, or Te Whare Mīere in Māori, is the iconic Executive Wing of New Zealand's Parliament, located in Wellington. Its unique beehive shape and modern design, completed in 1981, make it a notable heritage site. The building houses the offices of government ministers, including the Prime Minister, and features a rich collection of New Zealand art. Visitors can admire its elegant architecture, including a striking marble foyer and a distinctive brown copper roof. The Beehive is not only a symbol of New Zealand's governance but also a cultural landmark, recognized as a Category I heritage building for its historical significance.
