Bee honey and bee products
Bees are the most important insects that have been domesticated by people. It can be said that the silkworm, as well as bumblebees, osmia bees, alfalfa bees and some other insects have also been domesticated by people. But only bees produce honey, as well as such bee products as pollen, bee bread, beeswax, royal jelly, drone homogenate, propolis, bee venom, wax moth, bee bodies, even healing air from hives. Only honey bees can provide all this. But most importantly, bees are excellent pollinators that provide humanity with food, and in the wild, a wealth of plant species.

Honey plants for bees
Bees, producing honey and other bee products, visit plants. Different plants give bees nectar, honeydew, pollen, propolis. It is important for beekeepers to know from which plants bees can collect food and the substances they need, and which plants are dangerous for bees. This knowledge is even more interesting because each plant grows in its own ecosystem. Plants grow in forests, meadows, steppes, deserts, swamps, along river banks, in cities. And these plants can be useful or dangerous for bees.

Beekeeping in the world
Bees are such useful insects that when people explored new territories, they took their bees with them. That is why bees currently occupy all continents except Antarctica. Beekeeping is practiced in the scorching sandy deserts of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa, in the mountains of the Caucasus and the Alps, in the jungles of Southeast Asia and South America, in the temperate forests of North America and Europe, in agricultural landscapes around the world, and also in megacities. Despite the fact that beekeeping in different countries can differ dramatically, beekeeping news from different countries is not only interesting, but also useful. You can always learn something new that can be modified for your type of hive, climate, bees and applied in your apiary.
