No, if you do not raise your own queens you are a keeper of bees.
If you do you can call yourself a beekeeper.

I may have been having a naughty troll....
Seriously selection and queen raising is the most important skill to sustainably "keep" bees.
I like BC's comment keeper of bees & beekeeper.
I know many keepers of bees, and a few beekeepers. Keepers of bees are the most lucrative business for me - better money than selling honey to be honest.

On beekeepingness, apiarism, and what have you..... creating new queens and colonies is one thing....
How do I stop my wife forming anthropomorphic attachments to queens in particular?
One of the things I learnt early on was the value of culling - she wants to keep them as pets. I tend to take the HenryVIII approach.
Short of divorce, what can I do?

naturalist beekeeping focuses the mind on friendly stocks.

Wah!
Suddenly I have a vision of the missus padding round the apiary wearing just veil, gloves and wellies.
Calum - you are culpable for my mental disturbance - and did you really get stung on the todger? (ROFL)
