Bee keeping as an activity (2 slides + 1 picture)
1. Bee-keeping or apiculture is the rearing, care and management of honey bees for obtaining honey, wax and other substances.
2. Bee-keeping needs low investments, so farmers use it as additional income generating activity.
3. Bee-keeping also helps in cross pollination of crops because honey bees transfer pollen grains from one flower to another while collecting nectar.
4. Local varieties of bees used for commercial honey production are Apis cerana indica known as Indian bee. Apis dorsata- the rock bee, Apis florae- the little bee. An Italian bee Apis mellifera has also been brought to increase yield of honey. This variety is commonly used for commercial honey production.
