Definition: The term "apiary" refers to a type of market or trade that sells goods or services directly, often through private agreements between buyers and sellers. The primary purpose of an apiary is to facilitate the exchange of perishable produce like apples, pears, bananas, etc., without requiring intermediaries like wholesalers or retailers. In contrast, an apple orchard, farm stand, or market stall sell products like fruits, vegetables, honey, etc., directly from individual producers and sellers. They typically offer a wider variety of products and are more accessible to consumers. Both types of apiary have been around for centuries and were traditionally used as markets for agricultural produce. Today, they can be found in various forms such as indoor or outdoor apple orchards, farm stands, market stalls, or even online marketplaces.
