Click once you've read the questions below.

A recent city survey found around 31 rooftop hives in the downtown area. Each hive can produce up to 32 kilograms of honey a year, depending on nearby flowers. The main challenge for beekeepers is not the weather but a lack of 33 nearby. One community group increased their honey yield by about 34 percent after planting a rooftop garden. Beekeepers were also concerned about 35 use in nearby parks. Most beekeepers surveyed started less than 36 years ago. About seven out of ten owners sell their honey 37, while others keep it for their own 38. Experts recommend that beginners start with just 39 hive in their first year, to learn the basics 40.
