Chickens and bees could both be integrated into the homestead. Chickens need shelter, food, water, and daylight, and provide eggs, meat, and manure. Bees need shelter, forage, and protection, and provide honey, wax, and pollination. Chickens could graze in yards and gardens with a supplemental diet and shelter in a chicken tractor. Bees could be kept in hives in a fenced forest area, foraging on surrounding land. Of the two, bees are preferred as they can meet needs by foraging on the property and surrounding miles without external inputs.
