Beekeeping is a long process  that involving a lot of planning. First, the beekeepers have to acknowledge local nectar flowers. This is because they will know what plants provide pollen and nectar for the bees, when any nectar flows will occur, and how much pollen they have. This can also show signs of the next shortage of food for the bees.

People from thousands of years ago, the stone age, would steal honey from wild bee hives. Now, beekeeping is highly developed in many countries. Commercial beekeeping or apiculture started in the mid 1800s. Medevil Europeans would use hollowed logs or woven baskets called skeps as hives. By the 1700s, honeybees were very common.

Stung is a book about a post-apocalyptic world after bees go extinct. This topic relates to the book because both have to do with trying to pollinate plants and the importance of beekeeping. In the book, there are parts where humans have to individually pollinate or "paint" the plants to keep them alive, because there are no bees to do so. Honey is more valuable than money in this world because there is a limited amount. Beekeepers are supplying bees with food, hives, and plants to collect nectar from.

Beekeepers need to have knowledge of the bee's biology. It is important for beekeepers to know the bee's instincts in order to assist an environment to heighten the bee's productivity of the colony. Knowing the biology of the bee will help keep the colony healthy. For example, bees are a social species and need to be kept and maintained in a colony rather than individually.  In order to manage the bees correctly, the beekeeper must be educated with the bees cycles ; life cycle, seasonal cycles of the colony, as well as different diseases and sicknesses of the bee. Beekeepers should also know the food requirments for the colony because their main objective revolves around the bees collecting nectar.

There are multiple steps to this. This is where having the right tools becomes important.
1) Make sure it is safe to get the bees
2) Wear protective gear
3) Lay a light coloured sheet out under the swarm and place a box(cardboard or wood) on top of it
4) Move as much of the swarm into the box, and try to make sure the queen gets inside. If the queen is inside, all the worker bees will eventually follow.
5) close the box almost entirley, but leave a small slot so returning scout bees or bees that got left behind can get inside too. Leave it there for several  hours.
6) Secure the box completely
7) Gently transport the bees to a safe spot, and install them in your hive as early in the morning that you can.

Beekeeping became popular because farmers who keep hives of bees can sell the honey and beeswax. It can also benifit farmers because the bees can pollinate crops. About four-million pounds of beeswax is produced in the united states alone. Beeswax is used in a lot of products such as lipsticks, waterproofing compounds, and candles.

The honey industry has been steadily increasing since 2013. About 163,000,000 pounds of honey is produced each year in the U.S. The amount of honey producing colonies has increased by 4% since the year 2015.

Flowers have special glands, called nectaries, which produce nectar. Working honeybees collect the nectar.Honey starts off as the nectar collected by bees which gets broken down into simple sugars stored in the honeycomb. Because of the design of the honeycomb and the constant flapping of the bee's wings, evaporation turns the simple sugars into liquid honey. The colour and flavor of the honey depends on the nectar that the bees collected. For example, a lighter coloured honey might come from the blossom of an orange tree or from alfalfa blossoms while an avocado blossom or wildflowers might produce a honey that is darker in colour. Honey is very popular because it cannot go bad.

In the US, honeybees contribute to about twenty-billion dollars worth of products anually. Without the honeybee, at bloom time, many of the country's cops wouldnt exist. Some crops, like blueberries and cherries are ninty-percent dependent on the honeybee's pollination at bloom time. Almonds depend completly depend on the honeybees pollination at bloom time.
