All plants yield honey as you see. To the industrious Chymick bee'. A clergyman standing beside a beehive holds a honeycomb to his face while bees fly towards a rose of England and a thistle of Scotland; on the right, a scholar sits writing at a desk with books on a shelf behind him. The technology of beekeeping has remained fairly constant throughout the centuries. Beekeeping is the maintenance of honey bee colonies, commonly in hives, by humans. A beekeeper (or apiarist) keeps bees in order to collect honey and other products of the hive (including beeswax, propolis, pollen, and royal jelly), to pollinate crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers. | |
