प्रश्न
Why beekeeping should be done in good pasturage?
उत्तर
Beekeeping also called apiculture is an important enterprise of agriculture and is concerned with the commercial production of honey and wax.
As honey bees feed on flowers for collecting nectar, which is eventually converted into honey, the availability of flowering plants in the vicinity is a major factor in beekeeping.
In fact, the taste of honey depends upon the type of flowers, available. Pasturage refers to the land area covered with flowering plants which are available for the collection of nectar and pollen. It plays an important role in the quantity and quality of honey. Mostly, bee farms or apiaries are established in good and desirable locations where an abundance of flowering plants (flora) is available in a 1 to 2 km radius for nectar and pollen collection.
