Description:The Asian hive bee, Apis cerana F, is widely distributed throughout the Hindu Kush-Himalayan range. Beekeeping with this native bee species has been an important part of natural and cultural heritage amongst the mountain communities as a traditional household activity. Hive products, such as honey, beeswax, and pollen, provide both nutritious food and cash income. Yet another significant, but not widely recognised, role is that honeybees help to increase productivity levels and the quality of agricultural, horticultural, and fodder crops through cross-pollination activities. However, this aspect has not yet been developed on the modern s<?ientific lines that are followed in the developed countries of the West where the European hive bee, Ap/s mellifera, is extensively used for the pollination of agricultural crops. For example, the value of bee pollination in crop production in the USA has been estimated at more than 20 billion U.S. dollars per annum and one third of the food consumed in the world is produced by insectpollinated plants.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
