Apiculture is very diverse; we foster several insect species to pollinate our crops and produce honey, wax, and propolis. The diversity in beekeeping is truly amazing. It is said: "There are as many ways to keep bees as there are beekeepers. Logically there is no "proper" way to keep bees, the best we can do as good beekeepers and as good neighbours is to share our techniques, knowledge and experiences. To assume that this foundation is stable would be naive. Every year, new research, and new facts about the fascinating lives our friends the Honey Bees lead, help us to be more successful beekeepers.
