He also noted that in the Moscow region some beekeepers inconvenience to their neighbours. “In fact, we are talking about what is apiary create the owners of suburban areas. Other owners of land in these settlements is not always happy neighborhood with a swarm of bees, so these issues need to be carefully managed to accommodate all interests,” he explained.
