Bee keeping

[Beacon]

Do you keep bees or know anyone that is a bee keeper themselves? It's not a very common job and is also very difficult because you need to ensure you look after the bees in the hives you have to ensure they continue producing honey.

A bee hive is a very delicate organism and I think it takes a lot of experience to look after one. I have always been interested in keeping bees but I also worry that I'd get stung a lot as well. That seems like a given and a standard occupational hazard of keeping.

What are your thoughts on keeping bees for honey?

I come from a farmer's family, we do a lot of things such as vegetable farming, rice farming, fruit farming, animal husbandry, etc. however, we have never tried beekeeping. Some of our relatives are bee keepers. They say bee keeping is profitable, therefore, of late my parents are also thinking about keeping bees.

After my last experience with bees when I was trying to harvest their honey, I said no to them. Their sting hurts like hell and they wanted to kill me that very day. Bees are not for at all.

As much as I know bees do need protecting I don't think I would be able to keep bees in the way they would need to be kept. Bee keeping is something I feel should be left up to those who are familiar with looking after and keeping bees as if you get on the bad side of them ones they will attack and that never ends well at all.
