About the Book
This informative volume emphasizes the crucial role of honeybees in global food security and ecosystem stability. Honeybees are responsible for pollinating over 80% of all flowering plants and 70 of the top 100 food crops consumed by humans. As bee populations decline at an alarming rate worldwide, the need to protect and promote honeybee populations through sustainable beekeeping becomes critical.

The book explores various scientific and practical aspects of commercial beekeeping, highlighting its importance as an economically sustainable occupation. It presents a wide range of topics in a lucid and comprehensive manner, including pollination ecology, beekeeping techniques, hive product utilization, international market trends, import-export scenarios, and the role of different organizations in promoting apiculture.

Additionally, the book includes value-added insights such as producer-supplier directories, model project reports, and discussions on the significance of bees in ensuring food and health security. This makes it an invaluable guide for agri-business planners, researchers, policy makers, educators, students, farmers, and entrepreneurs seeking to establish or expand beekeeping-based ventures for sustainable income generation and rural development.
