Beekeping

Beekeeping, or apiculture, is the practice of maintaining and managing bee colonies, primarily honeybees, for purposes such as pollination and honey production. Beekeepers provide hives where bees live and work, ensuring they have a safe environment. They monitor and manage the health of the colonies, prevent pests and diseases, and harvest honey, beeswax, and other products. Beekeeping supports agriculture through pollination, enhances biodiversity, and offers sustainable resources. It combines science, observation, and care to maintain healthy bee populations, which are vital for ecosystems and food production.
