As a beekeeper, he continued to demonstrate his problem-solving expertise.Martha StewartThe cute-as-a-button harbinger of American Style has been a model, a stockbroker, and a beekeeper for over twenty-five years! The avid gardener realized a long time ago that keeping bees is a good thing. If you are unfamiliar with this fascinating character, crawl out from under your rock and jump to Martha Stewart Living!

Types of Bee keeping To name some (Commercial beekeeper) One who operates a sufficiently large number of colonies for honey production or crop pollination as a business for profit. (Urban or backyard beekeeping) is an attempt to revert to a less industrialized way of obtaining honey by utilizing small-scale colonies that pollinate urban gardens. (Biodynamic beekeeping), use natural materials for the hives, do not give them any foundation, do not make artificial nuclei or induce queen rearing, minimize stress factors and allow bees to develop in accordance with their true nature. Going back to 4.9mm bees. (Hybrid beekeeping) is using old and new beekeeping to do sustainable beekeeping. This is not traditional beekeeping, but the styles are old, the equipment used is modern.

* Note on Stinger Removal*

Bee sting removal can be a tricky subject, one that needs a certain amount of clarification. The fact is, many people do not know how to properly remove a bee sting; if you don't know how to properly remove the stinger, the bee sting could become worse. A specific method must be employed when endeavoring to remove a bee stinger.After being stung, the first thing you must do is realize that the stinger needs to be removed as quickly as possible. Rush to the kitchen or bathroom or wherever you keep your health supplies. Do not reach for the tweezers! These are your enemy when dealing with any kind of bee sting. Tweezers will squeeze any leftover venom in the stinger into your body, thus making the sting site worse. Find something to scrape the sting with, like a needle. First, disinfect the needle (or other sharp object) with rubbing alcohol. Then, carefully scrape the area to remove the stinger so as not to cause any more damage to the inflamed area.After removing the stinger, you need to clean the wound with warm water and soap, or rubbing alcohol. Then, especially when dealing with children, apply ice or very cold water to cool down the sting site. This will help relieve much of the pain due to the heat caused by the influx of blood to the area, not to mention numb the sting site and the surrounding skin.
