There are many reasons to keep honey bees. The price of honey tripled in 2002. Many crops grown in orchards,
gardens, and on farms benefit from bee pollination. Keeping bees will raise your understanding of the natural
world and the interrelatedness of all living things. Beekeeping with a young person can be especially rewarding.
Last, but not least, it is impossible to be surrounded by thousands of bees busily going about their work and think
about your troubles. Honey bees have been training new beekeepers for more than 4,000 years, and they will join
your beginning beekeeping instructors in teaching you what you need to know. Honey bees have fascinated mankind
throughout history. They will fascinate you too if you let them.
