The term bee yard (or bee-yard, beeyard) doesn't originate in the US. Here is a pleasant reference:
East of the house they made within a sheltered nook
A garden of sweet herbs and druid plants; thereby
A bee-yard, rich in hives, where many a buzzing swarm,
That made the island loud all day with summer sound,
Stored the sweet honey; and near, a mead-house with its vats.
