Actually, this is a misconception. Bees do best in the city. That is because people plant flowers, fruit trees etc. that just don't exist in the country. Bees in the city produce MORE honey than bees in the country.

City beekeeping is a popular and fashionable hobby. Many consider it a way to connect to nature.

Here is a blog of a Seattle beekeeper:

As far as your one hobby, I'm sure you have to come up for a breath once in a while.
