A location where honeybees are kept in hives, typically for honey production, pollination, or beeswax harvesting.
From Latin 'apiarium' (bee house), derived from 'apis' (bee) with the '-arium' suffix meaning 'place of.' The word has been used since Roman times.
An apiary is one of humanity's oldest agricultural technologies—the Romans used them thousands of years ago, and the basic design of a bee hive has remained almost unchanged because bees themselves are such efficient architects that we simply copied their work.
