Cape cod, just remember this, others may not share your same enthusiasm over bees. You may need to place signs in your yard warning them that there are honeybee hives in the area, and I would definitely inform your neighbors that you are keeping them, and ask them/educate them on any concerns. The main thing is that others cannot get right next to your hives or when operating mowers etc...near your hives if the bees are in a bad mood. Other than that, educate, have fun and give honey to your neighbors every season, this goes a long way.
Sincerely, JP
