    Beekeeping provides several benefits like pollination, honey production, beeswax, and various other products. Honey bees live in highly organized colonies consisting of a queen, workers, and drones. The queen lays eggs while workers care for larvae, build comb, forage, guard the hive, and perform other tasks. Communication occurs through waggle dancing and pheromones. Beekeeping has been practiced for thousands of years and remains an endlessly fascinating pursuit.
