Even in today's world of hurry and bustle bees and beekeeping are as important as ever..
Honey bees are one of the most well-known, popular and economically beneficial insects. For thousands of years, man has plundered honey bee colonies to get honey, bee pollen and beeswax.
Now, honey bees are commonly kept in hives throughout the United States and abroad.
Although many people make a living from bees, most beekeepers are hobbyists who have only a few hives and who simply enjoy working with these fascinating insects.
