Bee Keeping
Beekeeping is related to the practical management of social species of honey bees. Honey bees are reared for obtaining honey, pollen, etc. It is an agricultural industry. Honeybees convert nectar of flowers into honey and store them in hives. The species universally managed by beekeepers in Europe and America is the western honey bee (Apis mellifera).
Some benefits of beekeeping:
