Bee Keeping
Bee keeping, also known as apiculture, is the practice of maintaining and caring for honeybees in artificial hives. Beekeepers manage these hives to produce honey, beeswax, and other bee products while also supporting the health of bee populations. This practice is essential for pollination, which helps many plants and crops grow.
Beekeeping requires knowledge of bee behavior, hive management, and pest control. Beekeepers often inspect hives to ensure the bees are healthy and to collect honey. This sustainable practice not only benefits the beekeeper but also contributes to the environment by promoting biodiversity through pollination.
