Beekeeping Education For Beginners

Introduction to Beekeeping

If you are considering bees as a hobby or as a sideline business, there are things you will want to keep in mind before making that decision.

Clothing and Equipment

Equipment needed to start. Use protective clothing to avoid getting hive product on your regular clothes, and to protect sensitive areas of your body.

How to Handle Bees

As a beekeeper you will have to be prepared to receive your share of stings. As you gain confidence and more adept at the handling of the bees, the stings will happen less frequently.

Honey Extraction


As a beekeeper just starting out it can be extremely confusing with all the hives, frames and even bees, and that doesn't even include the honey extracting equipment.

About Bees

"Queen Bee

Queens are developed from larvae selected by worker bees and specially fed in order to become sexually mature. There is normally only one adult, mated queen in a hive, in which case the bees will usually follow and fiercely protect her.

Drone Bee

A drone is a male honey bee. Unlike the female worker bee, drones do not have stingers and gather neither nectar nor pollen. They are unable to feed themselves or emerge from their pupae, requiring workers to do these for them. A drone's only role is to mate with an unfertilized queen.

Worker Bee

A worker bee is any female bee that lacks the full reproductive capacity of the colony's queen bee. Workers gather nectar and gather pollen into the pollen baskets on their back legs and carry it back to the hive where it is used as food for the developing brood.
