Have found a suble difference between "alveare" and arnia".
"Alveare" can be natural and artificial. "Arnia" is natural ( a hollow trunk or rock) or made of wood.
The definition of "alveare" is "nido delle api naturale o artificiale."

The definition of "arnia" is "1. cavità di un tronco o di una roccia in cui si anidano le colonie di api allo stato naturale.
2. cassetta di legno per l'allevamento delle api."
