Sweeten your life with beekeeping
If you feel the need to sweeten your life, why not take up beekeeping? Backyard beekeeping is growing in popularity, even in urban areas. Those who have taken it up swear to the many benefits it has brought to their lives – including providing a way to escape from the stresses of daily life and, of course, giving them a source of honey, one of nature’s great natural sweeteners. And you can even help the environment by raising bees since you are helping to reverse the loss of wild colonies due to parasitic mites, pesticides, and urbanization.
Beekeeping also provides you with an invaluable opportunity to get close to nature. When you work with bees, you gain an increased appreciation of the wonders of the natural world. You also continue to discover and learn new things from beekeeping, knowledge that you can share with others by helping them to become beekeepers or by lecturing or even teaching courses at a community college.
