Entitled 'Instrumento per le Api', the bee-keeper's instrument is used to recall the swarm to the hive. 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. A location where bees are kept is called an apiary or 'bee yard'. Illustration 99 from Filippo Bonanni's 'Gabinetto Armonico', published in 1723. | |
