Beekeepers are individuals who manage and care for beehives to produce honey and other bee products. They monitor the health of the bee colonies, ensuring that the bees have enough food and are protected from diseases and pests. Beekeepers often wear protective gear, such as bee suits and gloves, to avoid stings while working with the bees. In addition to honey production, beekeepers play a crucial role in pollination, which helps many plants and crops grow. By maintaining healthy bee populations, they contribute to the ecosystem and support agricultural practices. Beekeeping can be a hobby or a commercial enterprise, depending on the beekeeper's goals.
