Honeybees

Would you say honeybees head aggressively head towards bee hives, bee combs or been nests? Which is most common, I guess is my question

Honeybees usually live in hives. The comb just refers to sections of the wax chambers, as when merchants sell you pieces of honeycomb dripping with honey. Nests are similar to hives -- wasps are said to live in nests, but "hive" is sort of peculiar to bees. Of course, there are wild bees that live in non-hive arrangements and don't produce a lot of honey -- at least not commercially -- and they might be said to live in nests, but if you are talking about the usual commercial honeybee home, it's a hive.
