There are two categories of beekeepers : you can do it out of pleasure or you can be a professional one. To become a professionnal beekeeper, there are several ways : you can follow a training course with an experimented beekeeper during one year or study farm exploitation management and become a farm manager with a beekeeping option. These course takes place in an apprentice training centre.

       When being a salaried beepeeper you will get the minimum wage, but when you are a freelance, your earnings will depend on the harvest and the sales.
