Let's do the space-time warp again!

The thread title is 'backyard' beekeeping, but realistically how much space do you need? I live in the city so I'm pretty sure I can't participate in this, but I thought that I could at least ask. How much space does a hive need, in terms of not having them freak out at my neighbours?

Let's do the space-time warp again!

Apparently there is a Metro Atlanta Beekeeping Association, which is pretty awesome. Unfortunately I missed their annual 'Introduction to Bees' course, which was in January. That might honestly be for the best, because we have so much stuff going on this year I don't know that I could really try a hive. What I might do is get out to some of their meetings and talk to people - apparently they work closely with the Botanical Gardens, which have their own hives, so I might be able to get an idea if I actually want to do this.

Just to be clear, you didn't get stung during any of this process? Including the up-ending-bees-into-hive part? What were you wearing in terms of gear?
