養蜂 is the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean title for beekeeping, to raise bees or apiculture.

A nice gift for an avid beekeeper.

碧 is a common transliteration to Mandarin Chinese for the name Bee.

This has nothing to do with the insect bee. The meaning of the character is actually “fresh and green.”

啤酒 means beer in Chinese.

This can refer to virtually any fermented grain-based alcoholic beverage that has bubbles. So this includes all kinds of ales and lagers.

In China, the grains used for beer sometimes include rice. But even in Chinese beer, the concept is the same - beer must be made with hops and yeast.

Beer was the third word I learned in Chinese, and I've toured 3 different breweries in China, Tsing Tao, Lao Shan, and Yanjing. I've done my research on this calligraphy entry!

ビール is the Japanese Katakana (phonetic Japanese) for the word beer.

ビール is meant to sound like the English word beer and is thus a loanword in Japanese.

不當和尚不知齋戒苦 literally translates as:
[One who has] not been a monk [does not] know the suffering of [being on a] vegetarian diet.

This is a bit like the “walk a mile in another man's shoes” saying. Basically, it's about you cannot fully understand the plight of others until you experience it yourself.

納比爾 is the name Nabeel in Chinese (Mandarin).

ナビール is the name Nabeel in Japanese (Katakana).

女王蜂 is the Japanese title for “Queen Bee,” as in queen of a bee hive.

I added 蜂王 because a customer got confused about queens.

In Chinese, they do not use the same title of queen for bees as they do for humans. 蜂王 is the proper title for the queen bee of a hive.

溫布爾比 is the name Wimblbee in Chinese (Mandarin).

ウィンブルビー is the name Wimblbee in Japanese Katakana.
