Many beekeepers have bee hives in their back yards. They are those who practice Home Beekeeping. Some bees are even kept on city roof-tops. Bees can travel several miles to collect nectar and pollen, so they do not need flowering plants close by. Most suburbs have plenty of flowers, and bees can make a good crop of local honey.
Bee stings are usually neighbors' biggest concern. But a good practice of Home Beekeeping is to allow neighbors to feel safe and comfortable in their yards.
Many Home Beekeepers learn through the ranks of great grandparents, grandparents, and parents and it's just a family tradition and way of life that's taught to children. As with other farm products, honey production began as a chore, but eventually gained profit through being taken to the market.
