Beekeeping in India is still in infancy, offering
vast scope for expansion as a prime agri-horticulture
and forest-based industry. In order to make
beekeeping a successful enterprise, the first and
foremost task is to educate beekeepers about the bee
pasturage availability in different agroclimatic
zones. This provides valuable information on
availability and abundance of pollen and nectar
sources for honeybees during different seasons and
helps ultimately in standardizing the seasonal
management practices for honeybee colony.
This unique compendium brings together much needed
information on nectar and pollen potential of 290
promising plant species belonging to 221 genera of
the North-West Himalaya. It also aims to familiarise
the readers with floral abundance for balanced
growth of apiculture. It also provides information
on synonyms, vernacular name(s), distribution,
flowering and fruiting, botanical description and
active constituents to serve as a valuable ready-reckoner
for beekeeping management on scientific lines in
general and for socio-economic up-liftment of
mountain rural communities in particular. It is
hoped that this compendium will be of great
practical utility to the farmers, beekeepers,
scientists, extension workers and entrepreneurs
practising beekeeping.
