Load Hive is active under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_USERS

To load or unload registry hives, use Registry Editor. The Load Hive and
Unload Hive commands affect only the HKEY_USERS and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE keys
and are active only when these predefined keys are selected.

When you load a hive into the registry, the hive becomes a subkey of one of
these keys.

For more information, click on Help in the Registry Editor menu, and then
click on Help Topics. Search for "load hive" on the Search tab, and then
double-click "Load or Unload Registry Hives" in the Results list.

The answer to your question is in the Registry Editor help - which should
have been your first placed to look.
Then you would have found

Unload Hive. commands affect only the HKEY_USERS and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE keys

Yow, Dr. Frank. Apparently there's some *major* problems with hives in North
America these days. Bees are just not returning and hive populations are
dropping dramatically! It's a serious matter and can greatly impact our
food supply. Guess we can always eat pork. <snort>

Love and Kisses,
Doris
