Beekeeping/farming boots?

So, I recently got hired as a beekeeper. I need some working boots. I have backpacking boots, and I’m wondering if they will do? If not can I get some tips regarding working boots?

Good brands ect. I buy to last. I also buy for quality of product and working condition.

Thank you.

What is the schedule for harvesting actual bees wax?

I need about a pound of actual bees wax, not the stuff at the store. I can’t get any local beekeepers to talk to me. Is there a schedule to follow in order to ask at the right time?

what careers are there in agriculture?

I’ve been working in an office for almost 30 years and hate it. My passion is with gardening and planting. I can grow just about anything. I grew up on a farm.
This past summer I started a community garden. It makes me so happy. So I was wondering what kinds of good or decent paying jobs could I get involving this kind of thing?
I live in the midwest, if that matters, so we aren’t gardening year round.
Thanks.
