This paper presents a set of pottery beehives from the pre~Roman Iberian peninsula, dating from the third century BC, and all coming from a single region known in antiquity as Edetania. These beehives are closely related to similar examples from Greece and to a type described by Roman authors such as Columella. It is the first such archaeological material that can be associated with apiculture in this area.
