Hobbies

Beekeeping as a hobby is something that I have started a long time ago, even before going to school. But it’s not the common honey bee (Apis melifera) that I am referring to, instead it is mainly the small stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula, which can be found along South and Central American countries. As it does not require much attention, I can easily keep the 20 hives even though I am thousands of kilometers away.
