Bee keeping without the keeping?

Hi
I recently decided that I want a bee hive in my garden because they're dying and all that.
But I dont want the hassel of maintaining the hive or anything. I just want to buy a hive, put it in my garden and let the bees do their thing.
So i was just wondering if this is possible? Or do they need some maintanence every now and then to keep them going?

Dying Bees, The Real Cause – (and How To Bring Them Back)

From the perspective of spiritual ecology, some of the suspected causes merely stand in the foreground of the disappearing honeybees - EMF radiation; GM crops; and diseases and pests - while artificial incursions of modern bee-keeping on overall hive ecology are recognized to prevail at the root of the issue.
