Just put in two hives this past year. I'm using flow hives and they make the process of harvesting the honey a lot easier. Just turn a key, honey flows out and you catch it in jars. We've had one harvest so far, tastes like lavendar and jasmine! Apologies if these have already been discussed, I haven't read the entire thread yet.

The other thing we have, purely for pollination purposes (though I did grab the sugarbag out once to try) is an Australian native bee hive in a hollow log on my front deck. They are smaller than european bees and bite rather than sting (and they don't die if they bite you). Their honey is a lot less viscous than european bee honey, and has an interesting flavour (depends on what they have been collecting I guess). Here's a bad slow-mo of them.
