Animal Handling (Insects) or PS: Beekeeper

Which one to use for a beekeeper?

Using PS: Beekeeper feels a little bit like taking the easy way out - and it also opens up the question what it contains that AH (Insects) doesn't. What does PS: Cowboy contain that Animal Handling (bovines) doesn't?

AH (Insects) seems to be very broad, but the description of the skill says to use a broader skill the more stupid the animals... and insects are pretty stupid. They have that kind of needle-point intelligence you find in nature, where they are exceptional in whatever they do and dumb as stumps otherwise.
