We don't know the exact number of beekeepers in our city or community, it is because no formal registration system in place.

However, the estimate number is about 100 beekeepers in the city, Baton Rouge. This number is quite reasonable in urban areas.
Beekeepers are not really "professional" in urban areas, just kind of "part time" jobs and even hobby.
They use open space (land) as a be yard. 1 acre (0.41 ha) of land is good to support at least 20 hives.
These 20 artificial hives could produce about 5 gallons or 60 pounds (18.93 liters) fresh honey per year.

In our suburban community, we might legally have up to 3 artificially bee hives in our own backyards.

Some benefits to have hives in our backyards:
- free honey from your yard
- and free pollination services from the bees!

Nearly 19 litres of honey in one year from only 20 beehives is a lot!
