Beekeeping is a forest and agro-based industry, which is beyond the ordinary realms of industry, in the sense that the humans derive benefits from interaction between two living things like plants and bees without affecting adversely both. On the contrary plants, including many crops, prosper with the abundance of bees (as pollinating agents) and the bees, sheltered both by nature and humans provide mainly honey and other by-products like beeswax, bee-pollen, propolis and royal jelly. Bee-keeping, systematically adopted as a supplement to farming, can bring prosperity to the villages with species diversity crops. The IFS Project helped many farmers to get knowledge on Honey bee cultivation and its importance. During the last 3 years i.e. from 2014 to 2016, a close relationship of Apiculture interested farmers was maintained in KVK, It was inferred that majority of the farmers enquired about management of wax moth, ant problem, varroa mite which reveals that these are the most important pests of honey bees and their products and cause serious losses in commercial beekeeping.
