Beekeepers are also called honey farmers, apiarists, or less commonly,
apiculturists. A
beekeeper is a person who keeps honey bees. Honey bees
produce commodities such as honey, beeswax, pollen, and
royal jelly, while some beekeepers also raise queens and
bees to sell to other farmers, and to satisfy scientific
curiosity. Beekeepers also use honeybees to provide
pollination services to fruit and vegetable growers.
Many people keep bees as a hobby. Others do it for
income, either as a sideline to other work, or as a
commercial operator. These factors affect the number of
colonies maintained by the beekeeper.
This library is a collection of vintage beekeeping and
bee rearing books, intended to cover all topics of
beekeeping. A great source of reference for anyone
interested into getting into beekeeping, as well as
professional established beekeepers. The following
titles are
all included in this professional collection:
