It is not very idiomatic, but occupy fits your bee sample:
2 a :to take up (a place or extent in space)
- this chair is occupied
- the fireplace will occupy this corner of the room
4 :to reside in as an owner or tenant
- occupies an apartment on a two-year lease
Merriam-Webster
However, the construction change you are trying can be considered to be a change to passive voice. The verb is contained, so the verb contains would change to the verb is contained (noted in comments to your question). A shortened form would be is or is within.
