The Benefits of Bee keeping

Why has mankind been so interested in beekeeping over the centuries? I'm sure that the first motivator was honey. After all, for many years and long before cane sugar, honey was the primary sweetener in use. I'm also sure that honey remains the principal draw for many backyard beekeepers.

But the sweet reward is by no means the only reason folks are attracted to beekeeping. For a long time, agriculture has recognized the value of pollination by bees. Without the bees' help, many commercial crops would suffer serious consequences. More on that later. Even backyard beekeepers witness dramatic improvements in their gardens' yields: more and larger fruits, flowers, and vegetables. A hive or two in the garden makes a big difference in your success as a gardener.

The rewards of beekeeping extend beyond honey and pollination. Bees produce other products that can be harvested and put to good use, including beeswax, propolis, and royal jelly. Even the pollen they bring back to the hive can be harvested (it's rich in protein and makes a healthy food supplement in our own diets).

Since becoming a backyard beekeeper, I've grown to deeply admire the remarkable qualities of these endearing creatures. As a gardener, I've witnessed firsthand the dramatic contribution they provide to flowering plants of all kinds. With honey bees in my garden, its bounty has increased by leaps and bounds. And then there's that wonderful bonus that they generously give me: a yearly harvest of sweet liquid gold.

Once you get to know more about bees' value and remarkable social skills, you'll fall in love with them too. They're simply wonderful little creatures. Interacting with them is an honor and a privilege. People who love nature in its purest form will love bees and beekeeping.
