Successful beekeepers take care of their needs and have a healthy balance between costs and benefits. Entrepreneurs get the sweet taste of success with beekeeping (Apiculture) and honey production.As over the years, the traditional beekeeping business has evolved in terms of technology.
Beekeeping is one of the oldest tradition in India for collecting the honey. Honey bee farming is becoming popular due its market demand in national and international markets as well. Not only the farmers make a sweet dividends but beekeeping also help increase agriculture productivity through pollination. Honeybees also produce honey, bee wax and royal jelly thus giving additional benefits to the farmers.
After successive losses in traditionally grown crops, farmers are inclining towards bee farming. In order to maximize agricultural production, honeybee can be used as an important input agent.
About 80 % crop plants are crossâ€pollinated, as they need to receive pollen from other plants of the same species with the help of external agents. One of the most important external agents is the honeybee. Farmers planning for commercial honey bee farming should consider taking apiculture training.
