Raising honey producers
Beekeeping is the practice of maintaining honeybee colonies, typically in hives, to harvest honey, beeswax, or other products, or to provide pollination services.
A beekeeper tends the hives, monitors colony health, and extracts honey seasonally.
Also spelled as two words or hyphenated: bee keeping, bee-keeping.
