Apiarist courses in many places are over-subscribed and membership of beekeeping associations has shot up with the increased awareness of the plight of the productive pollinator. 许多地方的养蜂课程人满为患,而随着人们对这位多产的鲜花红娘之不幸遭遇的日益同情,养蜂协会会员人数也在飙升。
Beekeeping (or apiculture, from Latin:apis "bee") is the maintenance of honey bee colonies, commonly in hives, by humans. A beekeeper (or apiarist) keeps bees in order to collect their honey and other products that the hive produces (including beeswax, propolis, 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".
