Spelling देखिए: ARC-HIVE (बोलते 'आर-काइव' हैं)। Hive वह छत्ता है जहाँ मधुमक्खियाँ शहद सुरक्षित रखती हैं; archive वह 'छत्ता' है जहाँ government अपने पुराने records सुरक्षित रखती है।

Look at the spelling: ARC-HIVE (though it is pronounced AR-kive). A hive is where bees store honey safely; an archive is the 'hive' where a government stores its old records safely.
