The Addiction of Beekeeping

Beekeeping has a fascinating history and began thousands of years ago, but today they are as important and vital to modern industry and agriculture as they were all these years ago. 

The first known hives were believed to have been discovered as early as 2,000 BC, but there is research to suggest that it could have been as early as 7,000BC.

In the 21st Century, beekeeping continues to be a popular and expanding hobby or business and if done right can give you a very comfortable living. 

The good thing about beekeeping is that to start with you do not need a large area of land and just because you live within the city boundaries should not prevent you from working with bees. If you are looking for a hobby, love the outdoors and no matter where you live, then beekeeping is almost definitely worth considering.

Beekeeping can be a hobby for yourself, the family or if you really like a profitable business. Why not start a beekeeping club where you become the expert and teach others about the fantastic art and skill of beekeeping.

As with everything in life, you will need to take things slow at the beginning, but over a period of time you will learn and before you know it you will have your own hives with your own bees making honey.
