I’m mostly curious if others have done this or set it up themselves, but genuinely interested in setting up some beehives in the back of our house, (there is a cliff face and small jungle out the back of our place where it would be good to set up). Has anyone done it before? Is it even possible in a urban area in Japan (suburb of yokohama), or many something with so much red tape not even worth it.

This comes up more often than you’d think. I looked into it about 6-7 years ago and my neighbors nixed the idea of me having “dangerous stinging insects”. Never mind the rampant use of pesticides killing most insect pollinators.
