Study Overview

Beekeeping is the activity concerned with the management of bees and the production of bee products; this practice involves the management of hives, assisting bees in collecting nectar from flowers, maintaining and protecting bee colonies, and collecting and processing bee products. Beekeeping can be carried out either as a professional activity or as a hobby. The Italian market has the following products related to the activity:

Honey: the main product of beekeeping, with different varieties such as acacia honey, chestnut honey, mixed flower honey, etc. Propolis: a resinous substance produced by bees to protect their hives, used for its antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Pollen: granules collected by bees as a source of protein and nutrients, often used as a dietary supplement. Royal jelly: a substance produced by young bees and used to feed the larvae of queen bees, with nutritional and beneficial properties for humans. Beeswax: used to make candles, cosmetics, skin care products and more.

Beekeeping has ancient origins and dates back to the Egyptians, who used cylindrical hives to control and breed bees. Over the centuries, different peoples have developed different methods of building hives, using materials such as earthenware and hollowed-out logs. Honey has played an important role in different cultures, both as a food and for its healing properties. Aristotle was one of the first to scientifically study bees, while in the Middle Ages beekeeping developed because of the awareness of honey's value as a food source. In the 17th century, with the advent of the microscope, beekeeping made significant progress. In the 19th century, thanks to Langstroth's innovations, modern beekeeping spread throughout the world.(Beekeeper) In 2022, the global beekeeping market is estimated at $10.3 billion. A compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6 percent is projected between 2022 and 2026, under which the global beekeeping market could reach a total value of $11.87 billion.
