The agricultural sector suffers from high risk of injury and damage to human health.There is considerable research not only identifying these risks but also finding 127 ways to mitigate them.Beekeeping or apiculture, recognised as part of this sector, has many risk factors such as heavy lifting, high degree of manual materials handling, twisting, a
