Anybody Can Become A Beekeeper
|
It makes no difference if you are a man, woman or younger child, you can become a beekeeper, whether you live in the big city, the suburbs or out in the country side. Honeybees are a joy to keep in the backyard simply for their buzzing presence and, on hot days, the smell of honey, wafting through the air within ten feet of the hive. They increase pollination in your yard and therefore increase your yields from fruit trees and vegetables. You may also harvest honey (gallons per year), beeswax, pollen, and propolis from the hive. Your own honey will provide you a tasty treat for your home table as well as a gift for relatives, friends or neighbors. I never knew of anyone to turn down a free jar of honey !
Some people develop beekeeping into a profitable sideline providing themselves with some extra supplemental income. As long as you are mobile enough to get around your yard by one means or another, there is no reason why (with maybe a little help from a friend or relative for lifting hive boxes) you cannot take up beekeeping along with anyone else.
