Beekeeping is an activity in which it is responsible for obtaining various bees and getting their wax, honey, and royal jelly that are produced by them.
The bees obtain the pollen that the flowers generate, such as those of rosemary, orange blossom, lavender, multifloral and many more.
The bees obtain the nectar from the flower, which is a sugary juice that the flower contains and passes it from bee to bee and makes honey.
These live in hives that are where they also reproduce and here they store the honey from which the beekeepers obtain them for commercialization.
Beekeepers have to wear a special suit for beekeeping since they have to protect themselves as much as possible from bee stings since it can be very dangerous to their health, even in people with an allergy to this animal's sting, it can be fatal, That is why you have to wear the suit to be totally protected and not take any risks.
There are two types of bees:
-worker bee
-Queen bee
The worker bee is an infertile female and they are larger than the others, these usually:
-be in charge of cleaning the hive
- keeping the wax clean
-develop their hypopharyngeal glands to make royal jelly
- build wax panels thanks to their wax glands
-they take care that bees from other hives or wasps do not enter
-create a stream of air to dehydrate the nectar
Queen bees are usually smaller than workers, they are responsible for:
-lays eggs to reproduce
-maintain the reign, in the case of appearing more queens a battle will be formed until it expires
