This is an extraordinary bee house for English gardens described in a German magazine from 1804. There are 32 hives in there! The article is in blackletter, which OCR does not recognize. I am not up for transcribing the article now so to read the German original you can go to Allgemeines teutsches Garten-Magazin oder gemeinnützige Beiträge ..., Volume 1.
Here is Plate 23 which illustrated the article.
The Latin inscription on the building says something like "Thus, among you, not for you bees make honey".
