A Beeginners Guide to Bees by Ronald Kresten
Bees may not seem like the best pet to have at first glance, but beekeeping can be an extremely rewarding pastime or vocation. Whilst you may not want to cuddle them, bees can be extremely interesting and enjoyable to watch and bring with them a huge amount of other great benefits.
Whilst many people think of painful stings when they think of bees, in reality bees are only likely to sting if they feel threatened and so long as you know how to handle them in the right way they would be unlikely to sting anyway, as whilst it may hurt you, it will kill them. It is wasps that are indiscriminate when it comes to stinging and bees have picked up a bad name by proxy. Obviously if you are considering beekeeping, you will want to ensure you have the right beekeeping suits to keep you safe, but on the whole bees are far less likely to sting you than many people realise.
The main reason people choose to get themselves an apiary and keep bees is likely to be for honey. Whether you simply want a vast array of the finest honey for yourself and will enjoy helping bees cultivate their hive, or whether you actually want to sell the honey on, there is plenty of potential when you keep bees, including the potential to make many other products from their produce. On top of this, for those who grow crops, keeping bees will vastly help to improve pollination and in turn ensure gardens look as great as possible and fruit and veg grow to their best potential.
So there are many reasons to get those beekeeping suits on and get out in the garden – the garden that will look far nicer should you choose to have a hive.
