	<b>Apiculture</b> is the science (and some say art) of raising honey bees, also know as <b>beekeeping</b>. Bees live together in groups called <b>colonies</b> and make their homes in <b>beehives</b>. Tending a hive is not as easy as it may sound, although it can be a very rewarding experience. To start on the path of the <b>apiculturist</b>, all one needs is a <b>beehive deed</b> and an area with plenty of <b>flowers</b> and <b>water</b>. Beehive deeds can be bought from beekeeper NPCs. One can be found at the Busy Bees shop in Vesper (coordinates: (2957, 705)). You may place your beehive in your home or in your township.		<b>Apiculture</b> is the science (and some say art) of raising honey bees, also know as <b>beekeeping</b>.
