So, what are the advantages of keeping bees anyway? Well, we have found that there are several, and here are some of them!
Nearly anyone can get involved in beekeeping, regardless of age or location. You don't need to have a ton of space or experience to start, as long as you are willing to put in the work. Don't hesitate to ask the community how you can best start in your particular situation.
Urban beekeeping is becoming more and more popular due to it being easy to do with limited space as well as the improvements it lends to the neighborhood's ecosystem. Don't let living in the city or urban areas discourage you from trying it out for yourself.
You get to harvest the products of the hive! Beeswax can be used to make all kinds of natural product alternatives such as balms and lotions along with so much more. And finally, the honey! Not only is honey bought from the store expensive, but unless you bought it from a local source, you are missing out on tons of health benefits.
So, if you've been considering picking up beekeeping, we encourage you to take the plunge into this rewarding and mutually beneficial activity!
