All Respect to the Beekeeper & Bees 🐝 Please 🙌

.
Next time you purchase Honey consider this:

20 Oz of Honey 🍯 requires 1440 bees🐝 to travel 152,500 Miles to visit 5.6 million flowers💐
.
As a beekeeper, you are responsible for building and maintaining beehives, inducting wild swarms, collecting honey and royal jelly, removing hive parasites and maintaining the health of the hive. You may also be required to sterilize or destroy hives and cultivate queen bees for commercial purposes
.
Beekeeper Responsibilities:
•Assembling beehives to desired specifications
• Inserting honeycombs and inducting wild swarms into prepared hives
• Forcing bees from a hive using a smoke pot to inspect the hive and retrieve honey
• Collecting honey and royal jelly
• Destroying excess queen bee cells to prevent the division of a colony
• Scraping out hive parasites and removing vermin
• Destroying diseased bee colonies
• Cultivating queen bees for sale to other Apiarists
• Arranging the sale of honey to local buyers
• Splitting colonies
.
A beekeepers job is physically demanding as well often times they're working long hours in less then favorable weather
.
The next time you see someone selling honey, honey comb, wax, bee pollen or products made with honey
.
Think about how much work it took both the bees 🍯 to make the honey & the Beekeeper to get retrieve it from the hive to the bottle
.
