Beekeeping or apiculture is the maintenance of bee colonies, commonly in man-made hives, by humans. Most such bees are honey bees in the genus Apis, but other honey-producing bees such as Melipona stingless bees are also kept. A beekeeper or apiarist keeps bees in order to collect their honey and other products that the hive produce including beeswax, propolis, flower pollen, bee pollen, and royal jelly , to pollinate crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers.
