Plural of apiary; multiple locations or facilities where honeybees are kept, raised, and managed.
From Latin 'apiarium' (bee house) with the '-arium' meaning 'place of,' then pluralized. The term has been used since ancient Roman times to describe bee-keeping facilities.
The largest apiaries in the world manage hundreds of thousands of hives spread across multiple states, and beekeepers actually truck entire apiaries from place to place following the flowering seasons—it's like a traveling circus made of bees.
