Ergonomics in Beekeeping Activities

Abstract

Most of the academic research that has been done on beekeeping focuses on bee health, ways to protect bees from diseases, and how to get more yield. However, there are also ergonomic risks during beekeeping activities that affect the health of beekeepers and indirectly affect productivity. In this study, ergonomic risks that threaten the health of beekeepers were investigated. The most important ergonomic risks for beekeepers are those that threaten the health of the musculoskeletal system. These risks arise from working with improper body posture for long periods of time, manual handling/lifting, and the use of non-ergonomic hand tools. Measures and solutions that can be applied to protect the health of beekeepers against ergonomic risks and to increase working efficiency are presented.
