Outdoor Living Topic: #KeepingHoneyBees | Keeping honey bees is possible, just make sure it’s allowed where you live before you run out and get some bees. Keeping Honey Bees requires you to set up hives in a suitable location, provide the bees with enough food and water, and regularly inspect their hive. You’ll want to keep them healthy by making sure they are free of pests, diseases and other problems. The bees will collect nectar from flowers and turn it into honey, which you, the beekeeper can harvest! Overall, beekeeping requires dedication, knowledge, and a genuine care for the well-being of the bees.
