The Daily Green and Bee Culture teamed up to gather data and photos from urban beekeepers. Today the first pictures that were sent in response to Dan Shapely's request to hear from city beekeepers came out.
Here's the link.
I sent a picture of a hive inspection at the (now lost until next year) Blue Heron hives and sent them a story about my beekeeping adventures.
My picture and story are located at picture #36 in the slideshow. It's fun to look at all the pictures and see how many different ways people keep bees in the city.
This is the tale that began in 2006 in my first year of beekeeping in Atlanta, GA. I have several hives of honeybees. As of April 2011, I have begun my sixth year as a beekeeper...there's still so much to learn.

Even if you find one post on the subject, I've posted a lot on basic beekeeping skills like installing bees, harvesting honey, inspecting the hive, etc. so be sure to search for more once you've found a topic of interest to you.
Be sure to see the list of hopefully useful videos and slide shows on the sidebar. All of them have captions and can be watched full screen.
If you want to share a blog post with another beekeeper, click on the share button on the top bar. There's a set of "share" buttons at the end of each post. You can email a post to a friend or put it on your facebook page, for example.
I began this blog to chronicle my beekeeping experiences. I have read lots of beekeeping books, but nothing takes the place of either hands-on experience with an experienced beekeeper or good pictures of the process. I want people to have a clearer picture of what to expect in their beekeeping so I post pictures and write about my beekeeping saga here. Along the way, I've passed a number of certification levels and am now a Master Beekeeper! Enjoy with me as I learn and grow as a beekeeper.

Thanks for posting that link. I was hoping to see the article. I am considering a hive in my backyard but I'm not sure how the neighbours would be about it.
