Kinda like a hotel for the bees? Sounds like a neat hobby.

Kind of - you can purchase premade beehives and packages of bees to get started. It's an off hands hobby compared to most (I spend about an hour a week tending to them). Bees are becoming ever-threatened with the increase in pesticides and invasive varroa mite, so by keeping bees you're not only "gettin honey", but also helping positively impact the worldwide environment.

This is by far the coolest hobby in the thread! But I'm curious, is it an expensive hobby to have? Like with the protective gear and such?

I've never actually heard of anyone that keeps bees not only for their honey but also for their survival. It must feel good to be able to compare yourself to Morgan Freeman.
