bee farm

Hive cultivation site

A bee farm is an operation where bees are raised for honey production, pollination services, or both.

The term is informal and interchangeable with apiary, though bee farm suggests a larger commercial scale: They visited a bee farm to learn about honey harvesting.

Bee farms may also produce beeswax, royal jelly, or rent hives to pollinate crops.
