>>1281027In beekeeping you can have several options besides the production of honey: propolis, pollen, royal jelly, wax and apitoxin. In my opinion, it is one of the best investments for beginners.
But you will have your challenges. You must be organized, have a good perception of what is happening in your hive, the environment around you. It's almost as if you need to anticipate/predict a darth of nectar or a swarm.
Before you ask, no, I'm not a beekeeper myself, but my grandparents are, both mellifera and melipona beekeepers.
