Products of BeeKeeping
Beekeeping, or apiculture, yields a variety of valuable products, many of which are highly prized for their nutritional, medicinal, or practical uses.
Honey
“Honey is the most well-known and widely consumed product of beekeeping. It is a sweet, viscous substance made from the nectar of flowers, which bees convert into honey through enzymatic action and evaporation. ”
Propolis
“Propolis is a sticky, resin-like substance that bees collect from tree buds, sap flows, or other botanical sources. ”
Royal Jelly
“Royal jelly is a nutrient-rich secretion produced by worker bees and fed exclusively to the queen bee and potential queen larvae. ”
Bee Wax
“Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honey bees. It is secreted from glands on the underside of worker bees and is used to build the honeycomb structure within the hive. ”
