What does APIARY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A place where bees are kept, usually a group of hives set out together.
An apiary may be a corner of a garden or a whole field of hives tended by a beekeeper who collects honey and wax from it. The word comes from the Latin for bee, and it is the formal term where everyday speech would say bee yard. Hives in an apiary are normally spaced apart and faced in different directions so the bees do not drift into the wrong colony.
