I think its common knowledge that there's been a big trend towards people having backyard chickens in recent years, but I was surprised to see in this article today that the number of urban beekeepers is also growing rapidly.
Both trends are fantastic, although a little surprising given the move to higher density living, more apartments, smaller gardens, etc.
Are there any beekeepers here on Workshop? If so, how did you get into it?
I like the idea of having bees but would be nervous about taking the plunge. How difficult is it to have a hive?
