Why is a registry file called a “hive”?

Because one of the original developers of Windows NT hated bees. So the developer who was responsible for the registry snuck in as many bee references as he could. A registry file is called a “hive”, and registry data are stored in “cells”, which is what honeycombs are made of.
And me thought it was because many of us got hives when messing with the registry… close enough. :)
