Abstract:
Beekeeping is an ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially acceptable agro-based activity, which offers an immense potential for farmers/landless labours in rural areas as an integrated farming practice. Beekeeping supplements income, employments generation, and nutritional intake of rural population. Therefore, beekeeping is an alternative and attractive means of generating income to improve the quality of life of rural communities. This paper empirically indentifies the production of honey, bee-wax, and labour costs involved in it in the study area.
