A beekeeper is a person who keeps honey bees 🐝.
Beekeepers are also called honey farmers, apiarists, or less commonly, apiculturists. The term beekeeper refers to a person who keeps honey bees in beehives, boxes, or other receptacles. The
beekeeper does not control the creatures. The beekeeper owns the hives or boxes and associated equipment. The bees are
free to forage or leave as they desire. Bees usually return to the beekeeper's hive as the hive presents a
clean, dark, sheltered home.
