We had bees as kids. Even though I carry a epi pen I never was stung. We are vested in 12 hives. Good local honey. The bees are brought in for the season and then picked up later. Walking thru the field you would never know they were there. Bee keeping is an easy hobby, but you need space to plant what you want to influence the taste of your honey. By keeping a hive in the villages they would have to travel far to acquire enough clover, or honeysuckle to bring back to the hive.
