Description
The Beehive. There are 10 beehive structures all in a row at the Wildrose Charcoal Kilns in Wildrose Canyon in Death Valley National Park, California. The kilns were erected to create charcoal from wood to be used by the ore mines in the smelting process. Charcoal was used for a furnace fuel because it burned more slowly than wood and created a much greater heat that was needed for the refining of ores. Charcoal produced from wood retains its basic shape and texture but is converted to a 96% pure carbon content.These ten beehive shaped masonry structures, about 25 feet high, are believed to be the best known surviving example of such kilns to be found in the western states.
