I live in upstate New York (yes, there is a rest of New York).  In my town
there are two Universities within a 2 square mile area and approx 9000 people
on any given work day.  My yard backs onto one of the campuses.  I have had as
many a 6 hives in the yard with each finding enough pollen and nector to keep them all happy.  City vs. Country doesn't much matter as long as you have the po
pollen and nectar sources (as well as understanding neighbors that can be bribedwith honey).  Good luck with whatever you do!
