IC 4665 (Collinder 349 / Melotte 179), also known as the Summer Beehive Cluster<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> or Poseidon's Trident ,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> is an open cluster of stars in the constellation Ophiuchus, about 1° to the northeast of the star Beta Ophiuchi.<ref name=Crossen_Rhemann_2012/> It was discovered by Swiss astronomer Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1745. The cluster lies about 1,100 light years away from Earth.<ref name=Jeffries_et_al_2023/> It is easily visible in the smallest of telescopes and also with binoculars.<ref name=Crossen_Rhemann_2012/> From a sufficiently dark place it is also visible to the naked eye. It is one of the brightest clusters not to be cataloged by Charles Messier or William Herschel, probably because it is so loose and coarse.
Age estimates for this cluster have ranged from 20 up to as high as 100 million years. Comparison of the stellar lithium depletion with other clusters suggests it began to develop about 55 million years ago.<ref name=Jeffries_et_al_2023/> The upper main sequence turnoff age is Template:Val Myr.<ref name=Cargile_James_2010/> 819 candidate cluster members have been identified.<ref name=Miret-Roig_et_al_2020/> Two chemically peculiar stars were found to be members in 1977.<ref name=Levato_Malaroda_1977/> It has an estimated mass of about 130 suns.
There is evidence that IC 4665 is undergoing a collision with the older cluster Collinder 350, located about 4° away. Currently they are separated by a distance of Template:Cvt, after having formed at least Template:Cvt apart. It is unclear whether the two clusters will merge as a result of the collision.<ref name=Piatti_Malhan_2022/>
