apiary
noun
api·ary ˈā-pē-ˌer-ē 
-ˌe-rē
plural apiaries
: a place where bees are kept
especially : a collection of hives or colonies of bees kept for their honey
Did you know?
Beekeeping, or apiculture, is the care of honeybees that ensures that they produce more honey than they can use. An apiary usually consists of many separate beehives. The social life of a hive is strange and marvelous. The queen bee, who will become the mother of an entire colony, is actually created by being fed "royal jelly" while she is still only a larva. The tens of thousands of worker bees are underdeveloped females; only a handful of the bees are male, and they do no work at all. The workers defend the hive by kamikaze means, stinging any intruder and dying as they do so. There's more drama in a quiet-looking apiary than the casual observer might notice.

Etymology
borrowed from Latin apiārium, from apis "bee" (of obscure origin) + -ārium -ary entry 1
Note: Latin apis is superficially similar to the etymon *bi- seen in English bee and with varying suffixation in other northern Indo-European words (see bee entry 1), but cannot be connected in any phonetically regular way. A loan from ancient Egyptian ̓ fj "bee" has been hypothesized.
First Known Use
1654, in the meaning defined above
