Apiary with promotion of Honey-bee flora

Apiary and cultivation of honey bee flora are complementary to each other as the honey bee from apiary helps in pollination and consequent increase in productivity and honey bee flora acts as a source of nectar for the honey-bee. Apiary also helps in income generation among the rural women.

Benefit of the system:

1.       Source of income for rural women.

 

2.       Increase in production of bee pollinated crops and consequent increase in income.
