Apiculture
Apiculture, also known as beekeeping, is the raising and care of bees for commercial or agricultural purposes
Developed Economies Developed Economies

According to Indian Council of

Developing Economies

Honey

Bee venom

Bees wax

Agricultural Research, India Developing Economies Developing Economies needs 75 lakh bee colonies to pollinate 12 major crops that are entomophilous
Honey is majorly used as food in

Bee Colony
Royal Jelly Bee collected Pollen Propolis

developed countries and as medicine in third world countries

Bee collected pollen, propolis,

royal jelly, bee venom are used in medicinal preparations

The use of these products in

medical treatments is called apitherapy
