All you need to do is assign at least one family to work at it to use an Apiary in Manor Lords. Members of the assigned family automatically tend to the bees and collect Honey, which is sold as food. 

Having access to food sources like Honey that don’t deplete is essential to building a thriving region. Food sources like Berries and Wild Animals are easy to exhaust.

You can construct up to two Apiaries in your region to increase Honey yield. Constructing more than two Apiaries is possible, but it won’t increase the yield. You can also unlock the Advanced Beekeeping branch if you have more Development Points to spare.
