This site has much information about how to start beekeeping. There is evidence of ancient beekeeping stretchng back for thousands of years. In fact beekeepers have been taking advantage of bees in the wild for a very long time. I have been a 'beek' since about 1998 in a number of different places.

Do you have an interesting or entertaining story about bees or beekeeping? Please go to The Story Page and let us know. We love to hear from our visitors.

The European Honeybee Apis mellifera is a species of insect, Apis is Latin for "bee", and mellifera comes from the Latin meli- "honey" and ferre "to bear" - hence the scientific name means "honey-bearing-bee".

Beekeeping For Dummies?, 2nd Edition
The name Apis mellifera was coined in 1758 by Carolus Linnaeus. He later realized that they do not bear honey, but nectar, so tried to correct it to Apis mellifica ("honey-making") in a subsequent publication. However, according to the rules of synonymy in zoological nomenclature, the older name has precedence.

For a long time beekeeping was a hobby for me, but like so many hobbies it grew to be something more. I think I can safely say it has become my passion. Please explore this site and learn about this amazing insect and how to start beekeeping. Who knows, beekeeping just might become your passion too.

The Bee Disclaimer
Bee Disclaimer - Not the usual legal stuff - that's in the Privacy Policy Page - It's just that Bees often don't do what the books say they should. I think it's necessary to include this bee disclaimer because there comes a time in beekeeping when one has an epiphany! Obviously one learns a great deal from books, other beekeepers, the internet and one's own experience.

Honey Bee Photos.
I find bee photos and bee swarm photos incredible, clustered in various situations from which they need to be removed.

Honey Bee Swarms | Swarming Bees | Swarm
Most people have heard of honey bee swarms, often they call it a nest or a hive. However a bee swarm is something transient and quite specific. It's actually how bees procreate, it's probably more appropriate to think of it as the colony's 'child'. In order for the species to prosper it isn't enough for the colony just to prosper. It has to produce new colonies in the same way humans produce children.

Honey Bee Eggs are the Start of it All
When the queen lays bee eggs, up to 2,000 a day, she first backs into a cell and measures it. If the cell is the smaller size she fertilizes it as she lays it. I'd rather not get drawn into one of those 'which came first, questions. In the larger cells she lays, but does not fertilize it. The size of the cells built by worker bees depends on whether drones or workers are required.
