Beekeeping (or apiculture) is the maintenance of bee colonies, commonly in man-made hives, by humans. Most such bees are honey bees, but other honey-producing bees are also kept. A beekeeper (or apiarist) keeps bees in order to collect their honey and other products that the hive produce (including beeswax, propolis, flower pollen, bee pollen, and royal jelly), to pollinate crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers. A location where bees are kept is called an apiary or "bee yard".

The Nature's Wonders Beekeeping set includes two types of Beehive boxes with (removable frames), a Smoker, a Bee Tool and Bee Hat (for Dawn). The set has both native DAZ Studio and Poser versions and supports Iray, 3Delight, Firefly and Superfly render engines.
