Beekeeping is the ancient practice of the cultivation of bees for the purpose of harvesting their honey and other bee products, and for the cross-pollination of many agricultural crops. The U.S. Department of Agriculture valued the honey produced commercially in the U.S. in 2005 at about $158 million.
Beekeeping is also a satisfying hobby for many individuals throughout the world.
