bowl, rice tub, pot, crown
鉢 centers on a container that holds something: a bowl, a pot, or a tub. The crown sense is a specialized application where the container shape sits on the head.
鉢 combines 金 (metal) with 本, which likely contributes the sound. The character originally referred to a metal bowl or pot.
The left side 金 (metal) and right side 本 (book) come together: imagine a metal bowl used to hold sacred books or a pot shaped like a book. The container is a 鉢.
For ハチ, picture a bowl filled with honey made by bees: 蜂 (はち, bee) -> ハチ, and the bowl holds the sweet honey.
