# How do I use Apiary?

The Apiary centres around a key innovation: **Hives**. Hives are a liquid wrapper of Beradrome voting power which are used to fulfil the wishes of the Queen Bee.&#x20;

Beras can participate in Hives by providing oBERO tokens in exchange for Hive tokens representing their addition to the Hive. Don't worry, every Hive will have a different token symbol and name so you'll be able to tell your Hives apart.

There are 2 types of user who will be active in every Hive:

1. The Queen Bee - The Creator of the Hive who direct voting power and sets rewards.
2. Beras - Users who deposit oBERO tokens into a Hive in pursuit of yield.

We figure that most Beras will be looking to simplify their exposure to Beradrome, so lets start by walking through how&#x20;
