Answers
Explanation:
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. A location where bees are kept is called an apiary or "bee yard".
Five important species of honey bees are as follows.
The rock bee, Apis dorsata (Apidae).
The Indian hive bee, Apis cerana indica (Apidae).
The little bee, Apis florea (Apidae).
The European or Italian bee, Apis mellifera (Apidae).
Dammer bee or stingless bee, Melipona irridipennis (Meliporidae
