Beekeeping is becoming ever more popular and being taken more seriously by everyone; with good reason. It was first suggested by Albert Einstein that if bees were to become extinct the human race would follow within 4 years. Farmers have long known the important role of bees pollinating crops and improving their yields.
So keeping honey bees benefits the keeper; providing honey, satisfaction and an interesting hobby but it also benefits local farmers, which has a knock-on effect improving the national economy and the global climate!
This said beekeeping must be taken seriously and the bees well looked after. Beginners should seek advice on sites like this and their local beekeeping association. Badly kept hives could spread diseases that are decimating bee populations worldwide. Many bee species have already been made extinct! As beekeepers we have a responsibility to take every precaution necessary to prevent disease spreading.
