Tips for Successful Urban Beekeeping and City Beekeeping

Urban beekeeping or city beekeeping is actually more popular than anyone would ever imagine. Perceived dangers by the neighbors are your major problems and a proactive approach is often the easiest.

Since legal problems with bees most often occur in cities and suburbs, beekeepers should manage bees so that they do not bother neighbors. You can take several precautions to decrease the chances of your colonies becoming a public nuisance.

Maintaining gentle colonies is imperative in highly populated areas. Keeping colonies with bees that try to sting each time they are examined, or that consistently hover around the bee veil even after the colony is closed, is not advisable in the urban beekeeping setting. Selecting hybrid strains that have been bred for gentleness and requeening on a regular schedule will certainly help. If a colony becomes too defensive, requeening with a new queen will likely change colony temperament in a month or so.
