I need assistance to choose
Beekeepers will build or put together parts of ready-made beehives and will treat and paint beehive parts to prevent wood rot. They will negotiate with property owners and government agencies for sites on which to keep their bees. They will transport hives to sites that have been assessed for honey or pollen production potential. They will insert sheets of wax stamped with a honeycomb imprint into frames to be placed into hives and will remove honeycomb from the hive and extract honey. They will look after and repair beehives and honey-extracting equipment and will control bee diseases, pests and parasites in working hives. They will re-queen colonies and raise queen bees for their own use or sale and will negotiate with farmers to provide pollination services in the growing of nut, fruit, seed and vegetable crops. They will process and clean beeswax and will package and sell honey, pollen, propolis and beeswax.
