I have no experience with keeping bees in town but here in the hinterlands
everyone keeps a couple of broken wine bottles in the corner of their yard.
That way if you have to shoot the neighbour's dog for eating your chickens
and the neighbour drops over to enquire what all the gun fire was about you
can point to the wine bottles and say "target practice". Hope this helps.

P.S. If you're a dog lover pretend I said cat. If you're a cat lover
remember I said dog.
