Beekeeping is a 2008 album by Minneapolis alternative rock band Polara, their fifth and final full-length release. It was released on bandleader Ed Ackerson's Susstones Records label and produced by Ackerson at his recording studio, Flowers.
Released six years after the band's previous album Jetpack Blues and a few months after the more introspective solo album Ed Ackerson, the lineup on Beekeeping included founding members Ackerson and guitarist Jennifer Jurgens, as well as drummer Peter Anderson.
During this period, the band's live group included Jayhawks guitarist Marc Perlman, Tim Oesau, and Ackerson's wife Ashley Ackerson, who also led the group The Mood Swings.
