Backyard Beekeeping - Apis mellifera
3-story hive is up, bees are doing fine.
I'm a backyard beekeeper now.
How many backyard beekeepers are out there?
How many would like to be?

The western honey bee or European honey bee is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bee worldwide. The genus name "Apis" is Latin for "bee", and "mellifera" is the Latin for "honey-bearing", referring to the species' production of honey.
Similar species: Wasps, Bees, Sawflies And Ants
