The {{convert|4|ft|adj=on}} tall cone resembles a beehive. Beehive's Indicator is a small, jagged cone-type geyser located about {{convert|10|ft}} from Beehive. HistoryOn September 18, 1870 the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition entered the Upper Geyser Basin along the Firehole River. During a day and a half of exploration they named seven geysers they observed erupting. The Beehive was one of them. The following is Langford's description of the Beehive in his 1871 account of the expedition:
EruptionsEruptions of Beehive Geyser last about 5 minutes and are {{convert|200|ft}} high. The fountain maintains its full height for the duration of the eruption, dropping just slightly near the end. A roaring steam phase concludes the eruption and can be heard a quarter-mile away. The interval between eruptions range from 16-18 hours to one day during the summer. Winter eruptions are very erratic. There are occasions in both summer and winter that there are a series of eruptions that are quite regular. These eruptions have an interval of 10 to 20 hours with longer intervals near the end of the series.[4] As of summer 2009 Beehive was having predictable eruptions every 11 to 14 hrs. SequenceNear Beehive is a smaller geyser that can often be used as an indicator of a pending eruption of Beehive. This geyser, named Beehive's Indicator, sends up a {{convert|15|to|25|ft|adj=on}} fountain between a few seconds and 30 minutes before Beehive erupts, averaging 15 to 20 minutes prior. Once Beehive starts erupting, the Indicator continues to play during part of the Beehive eruption and then stops. For a period of three years in the 1990s, Beehive was dormant. During this time, the Indicator would erupt for extended periods, as long as 60 minutes, with no Beehive eruption. {{Gallery|title=Images of Beehive Geyser |footer= |width=150 |lines=4 |File:BeehiveGeyserMoran1871.JPG|1871 sketch of the Beehive[3] |File:Beehive geyser.jpg|Eruption |File:Beehive geyser 3.jpg|The geyser between eruptions |File:Beehive_Geyser_Erupting.JPG| Eruption in Summer }} References1. ^{{cite rcn|9083|Beehive Geyser}} {{Upper Geyser Basin}}{{Wyoming}}2. ^{{cite gnis|1609398|Beehive Geyser}} 3. ^1 {{cite journal |last=Langford |first=Nathaniel P. |authorlink=Nathaniel P.
