Beekeeping is the raising and caring for honeybees so that honey can be harvested from them. Beekeeping (or apiculture) is the maintenance of honey bee colonies or hives. These social species of honey bees live in large colonies of up to 100,000 individuals. A beekeeper or apiarist keeps bees in order to collect honey and beeswax or to pollinate crops or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers. A location where bees are kept is called an apiary or "bee yard". Apiculture means a scientific method of rearing insects that can produce honey and wax.
Honey processing involves the removal of wax and any other foreign materials from honey.
Advantages of beekeeping as an income generation activity
•Bee keeping requires less time, money and infrastructure investments
•Honey and beeswax can be produced from an area of little agricultural value
•The Honey bee does not compete for resources with any other agricultural enterprise.
•Beekeeping has positive ecological consequences. Bees play an important role in the pollination of many flowering plants, thus increasing the yield of certain crops such as sunflower and various fruits.
•Honey is a delicious and highly nutritious food. By the traditional method of honey hunting many wild colonies of bees are destroyed. This can be prevented by raising bees in boxes and producing honey at home.
•Beekeeping can be initiated by individuals or groups
•The market potential for honey and wax is high
