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.”

Mustard Honey

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.”

Pollen

“Bees have branched hairs that get covered in pollen as they move around flowers. They use special brushes on their legs to comb the pollen into baskets on their hind legs. Bees can carry up to half their body weight in pollen.”
