Beekeeping goes back as far as the 13th century B.C, when it was an art developed by the ancient Egyptians. But it was John Harbison who introduced beekeeping in the United States, and introduced modern techniques, plus the products, but it was Langston that showed the different nutritional benefits from bee products. As a beekeeper it is wise to know the history of honey bees, the history of beekeeping, and new modern procedures which improve the art.

In essence, if you want to become a beekeeper then this art needs to become your second nature, and you will need to learn everything you can about bees. Your quest and search for beekeeping knowledge should never stop as there is SO much to learn and attain.

Once you have made your decision on starting beekeeping as a hobby, or a small business, then decide on the required equipment.

The first thing you will need to think about is the type of hive you will use. This can depend on a lot of factors like, how much time you are going to dedicate to maintaining the hive, the amount of honey you want the bees to produce, how much money you have to spend, and your location.
