Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is an apiarist?"
...A apiarist is a nice technical term for a beekeeper. The literal translation generally denotes someone who keeps hives of bees, takes care of them and raises them for agricultural or commercial purposes. The art of beekeeping combines animal husbandry with observation, patience and woodworking. You have to keep an eye on the local weather, as well. If everything works as it should, you'll be extracting, bottling, consuming and possibly selling delicious local honey. Source: TheApiarist.org
