The A, Bee, and Cs of Beekeeping!
Beekeeping, also known as apiculture, is mans way of imitating nature by maintaining real bee colonies in artificial constructed hives. Apiculture can be a full time business, a sideline offering, or even enjoyed as just a hobby. Beyond the obvious reward of honey, other great products like pollen, propolis, and beeswax can be collected and add to the beekeepers profits.
Beyond the products we get from the bees, their services have expanded to performing some general labor for us as well. Bees are transported inside their hives, and distributed among crops to aid in massive pollination for industrial farmers.
While over 20,000 species of bee have been recorded to date, honey production is reliant on just 2 of these. They are the Apis cerana and the Apis mellifera or European dark bee. Apis mellifera are able to produce hybrids by inter-breeding. For this reason, science and breeders prefer this bee as they are able to create hybrids that exhibit preferred characteristics.
The practice of beekeeping dates back hundreds if not thousands of years and was recorded as an activity performed by our ancestors. It is still thought to be practiced traditionally in Australia, Asia, Africa, and South America. Early beekeeping, would involve smoking out nests created in hollowed out trees, and would break up the whole colony just to get to the honey. This evolved to keeping bees in a skep (a type of basket), but again the colony had to be destroyed to get the honey.
Today methods have been greatly refined. The use of tools such as artificial hives, natural smokers, and replaceable frames can keep the colony intact and produce more effectively.
In addition to needing specific knowledge about bees and their behavior, the beekeeper's work is hands-on. Like similar types of labor jobs, this requires it's own uniform and tools. Attire will consist of a bee suit, (or at least a smock with veil), gloves, and boots.
There is a wide range of additional beekeeping tools, but the essentials are a beehive (either a top bar hive or a Langstroth type hive), a hive tool, a bee feeder, and a smoker.
Smokers today are small canisters that can use natural elements which won't harm the bees or the honey they provide. Small puffs of smoke are an early warning sign to the bees, making them gorge on honey in case they need to make a quick exit from the hive. This makes the bees less aggressive and much easier to work with.
