Tag:man_made=beehive

A beehive is built mostly of wood and is used for keeping honey bees (inbreeding, raising, rearing).

A group or cluster of beehives is called apiary or bee yard.

A bee farm may have one or more apiaries.

How to map

A hive can be mapped as a node , tagged man made=beehive .

Apiaries are preferably mapped as an area , tagged landuse=apiary.

One still may map individual beehives within the apiary as man made=beehive nodes.

Apiaries may also be tagged with information about capacity.

for example: landuse=apiary + capacity=230

Additional tags

• operator=* - Company or beekeeper's name
• seasonal=* - Beehives are located seasonally (migratory beekeeping)
• capacity=* - Number of beehives
