FIL: Ang istrukturang tinitirhan ng isang kolonya ng mga pukyutan (laywan), kung saan sila gumagawa at nag-iimbak ng pulot-pukyutan.
EN: beehive
The headquarters of the hardest working BPO employees in the animal kingdom. It's a factory, a nursery, and a palace for the queen, all in one. Don't mess with it unless you want to be on the receiving end of a thousand tiny, flying security guards. The original 'buzz-y' workplace.
From "bahay" (house) + "laywan" (a species of bee).
"Bahay-pukyutan" is a more common synonym. "Laywan" itself is a less common term for bee than "pukyutan" or "bubuyog".
