    Bee farming has a long history dating back 10,000 years to the collection of honey. Beekeeping methods have evolved from pottery vessels 9,000 years ago to artificial beehives 2,000 years ago. Bee farming provides numerous health benefits from honey such as cleaning blood and arteries, preventing diseases, and boosting memory. Bee colonies consist of queens, worker bees, and male drones. Starting a bee farming business requires understanding bee and human relationships, constructing farms, acquiring equipment, determining farm size, and marketing honey. Pests and diseases that impact bees include wax moths, wax beetles, ants, birds, wasps, nosema disease, and Thai sac brood virus.
