Description :
Bee-keeping could be a new source of employment for migrant labour. It can be done easily along with farming. There is no need of any extra land or full time job for doing bee-keeping. Farmers can have a good income just by monitoring twice a day on a daily basis in morning and night. We get honey, pollen, propolish, royal jelly etc. from bee which is having a good requirement in market, and can help these farmers earn good profits by selling these products. Not only this, bee plays a major role in crop pollination which in turn increases the crop yield. This is the reason for which training on bee-keeping is very important in the district. From one bee-box, there is an yield of around 40-60kg honey, resulting in approximately Rs. 10,000-12,000 income by selling honey for a farmer. In the same manner, by selling other products an extra income of around Rs. 2,000-3,000 can be earned.
