beekeeping
Raising honey producers
Beekeeping is the practice of maintaining honey bee colonies, typically in hives, for the purpose of collecting honey, beeswax, and other products, or for pollinating crops.
Someone who keeps bees is a beekeeper or apiarist.
The craft ranges from hobbyists with a few backyard hives to commercial operations managing thousands of colonies.
She took up beekeeping after retiring and now sells honey at the farmers market.
