Beekeeping involves managing honey bee colonies. Bees are social insects that evolved from wasps millions of years ago. A bee colony consists of one queen, thousands of female worker bees, and hundreds of male drones. Workers perform different tasks as they age, initially cleaning cells, then receiving and storing nectar and pollen, before becoming foragers. The queen lays eggs and controls the colony with pheromones. Workers care for larvae, build comb, regulate temperature, and defend the hive. Colonies have distinct seasons for foraging, brood production, and swarming or supersedure of the queen.

Apiculture: introduction, species types and different methods of rearing of beesTehreem Sarwar
Beekeeping involves maintaining honey bee colonies in hives. A beekeeper collects honey and other hive products like beeswax, while also pollinating crops. Humans have kept bees since at least 15,000 years ago, and methods have advanced from crude extraction to modern hives and equipment. Honey bees are social insects that live in colonies and communicate through dances. The main honey bee species are A. dorsata, A. indica, A. mellifera, and A. florea, which differ in size, aggressiveness, and domesticability. Beekeeping provides nutritional and medicinal honey, as well as economic benefits through pollination, wax, and other products.
Honey bees live in highly organized family groups within cavities or trees, caves, or human structures. They build multiple combs vertically made of beeswax to store honey and raise baby bees. Honey bees are social insects with three main members - workers, queens, and drones. Workers care for the hive, gather nectar, and have a lifespan of 4-6 weeks. Queens lay up to 1500 eggs per day and can live 2-5 years. Drones mate with virgin queens then die. The document then describes honey bee anatomy and life cycle stages from egg to adult.
This document provides an introduction to apiculture (beekeeping). It discusses the etymology and history of beekeeping worldwide and in India. Key details include that beekeeping was practiced as early as 4000 years ago in Egypt, the development of the Langstroth beehive in 1851, and the introduction of European honey bees to India in 1880. The document also describes bee anatomy and morphology, focusing on the head, thorax, abdomen, digestive system, and reproductive organs. It concludes with an overview of the bee life cycle for queens, workers, and drones.
Honeybees collect nectar and pollen from various bee flora plants as a source of food. Nectar is the source of honey, while pollen provides protein. The period when many plants are flowering is called the honey flow period, providing ample food for bees. Some key bee flora plants that provide both nectar and pollen include stone fruits, bramble, clover species, and jamun from March through June. It is important to understand which plants local bees rely on to conserve bee colonies and the pollination services they provide.
1. There are five main types of honey bees - the rock bee, eastern bee, European bee, garden bee, and dammer bee. Each type varies in size, habitat, aggressiveness, and annual honey production.
2. Honey bees live in highly organized colonies consisting of a queen, several hundred drones, and thousands of worker bees that fulfill different roles.
3. Honey bees progress through four life stages - egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The queen lays eggs that hatch into larvae in 3 days, and adults emerge 16-24 days later depending on their caste.

This document discusses various insect and non-insect enemies of honey bees, including the wax moth, wasps, ants, parasitic mites like Varroa destructor, and diseases. It provides details on the nature of damage caused by each enemy, symptoms of infestation or disease, and recommended management practices like removing infested comb, maintaining strong bee colonies, and using approved treatments and chemicals.
Commercial beekeeping involves rearing honey bees to collect honey and other hive products like beeswax, propolis, pollen, and royal jelly. It is important for pollinating about 1/3 of global food crops. European honey bees are commonly used as they are easy to handle and produce large amounts of honey. Beekeeping includes maintaining hives, providing bees with sugar syrup when flowers are scarce, inspecting hives to monitor the queen and activity, and collecting hive products once honey is packed into frames. Protective beekeeping suits and regular maintenance are needed to safely practice apiculture.
Beekeeping equipment has evolved as bee species have become more aggressive. The list includes full bee suits, bee jackets, gloves, hive tools, brushes, and extractors to safely handle hives and protect against stings. Smokers are also essential as the smoke calms the bees and makes inspections easier. With the proper safety gear, beekeepers can continue to safely tend to their hives despite the increased risks posed by foreign bee species.
This document discusses the enemies of honey bees, including wax moths and mites. It identifies two main wax moths that damage beehives: the greater wax moth and lesser wax moth. It describes their life cycles and the damage they cause. The document also discusses several mite species that are ecto- or endoparasitic to honey bees, especially the Varroa mite. It provides details on Varroa mite identification, life cycle, and symptoms of infestation. Finally, it outlines management and treatment approaches for wax moths and Varroa mites, including physical, biological and chemical control methods.
IDENTIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT OF BEE ENEMIESmuruganjey
This document discusses the identification and management of insect, mite, and bird enemies of honey bees. It describes various wax moths, ants, wasps, hornets, and mites like Varroa mite and tracheal mite that are pests to honey bees. It provides details on the lifecycle and symptoms caused by each pest. Management techniques for each pest are also outlined, such as frequent hive examination, comb removal, fumigation, temperature control, ant baits, reduced hive entrances, and chemical treatments. Several bird species that prey on honey bees are also listed along with using red ribbons and apiary site selection to deter attacks.
Beekeeping has a long history dating back thousands of years. It involves the domestic rearing of honey bees for honey and other products like beeswax, pollen, and bee packages. While early beekeeping methods were crude, innovations like Langstroth's movable frame hive in the 1850s helped industrialize the practice. Today, the US has over 2 million bee colonies, though numbers are decreasing. Issues like mites, diseases, and pesticides threaten bee populations and commercial beekeeping. However, sustainable beekeeping provides environmental and economic benefits by supporting pollination and providing additional income in developing areas.
1) Beekeeping is the maintenance of honeybee colonies by humans in hives for their pollination services and products like honey, wax, propolis, and bee venom.
2) There are four main species of honeybees reared in India - Apis dorsata, Apis cerana indica, Apis florea, and Apis mellifera - which provide different levels of honey yield.
3) Important beekeeping equipment includes hives like the Newton's hive and Langstroth hive, as well as a smoker, honey extractor, comb foundation sheets, and protective beekeeping clothing and gloves.
Presentation (1) diseases and pest of silkworm.Dev Dixit
pest of silkworm : Uzifly, Dermestid beetle. diseases: Grasserie,flacherie, muscardine, pebrine . pests and diseases of mulberry tree plant: morus alba, morus indica etc.
This document discusses seasonal management of honey bee colonies. It outlines the honey flow seasons and dearth periods for different regions. During honey flows, beekeepers should provide space for honey storage and confine queens. During dearth periods, colonies must be fed sugar syrup, pollen supplements, and substitutes. The document also details management strategies for different seasons, including preventing swarming, equalizing colony strength, and providing winter insulation.
The silkworm Bombyx mori produces silk for commercial use. It goes through four stages in its life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult moth. The larva, called a silkworm, eats mulberry leaves and grows, molting four times over 27 days. It then spins a cocoon made of silk threads to protect itself as a pupa, undergoing metamorphosis inside for 2-3 weeks until emerging as an adult moth.
The document discusses sericulture, the production of silk through silkworm farming. It outlines the history and global production of silk, with China and India as top producers. The document describes the life cycle of the silkworm and production process from feeding to spinning cocoons. It also discusses different types of silks including mulberry, tasar, eri, muga and spider silk. The document notes that sericulture provides employment and economic opportunities in rural areas. It also summarizes non-farm activities in rural India which provide supplementary income beyond agriculture.
The document discusses apiculture, or beekeeping. It defines key terms like apiculture, apiary, and apiarist. It outlines the main types of honey bees used in apiculture, including Apis cerana, Apis florea, Apis dorsata, and the Western honeybee. The main products of apiculture are honey, pollen, royal jelly, bee venom, and propolis. The document also lists advantages like income generation, ecological benefits, crop pollination, and producing nutritious honey. It describes the two main methods of apiculture as the indigenous method using traditional hives and the modern method using artificially designed hives invented in 1951.
Honey bees live in colonies with one queen, thousands of workers, and hundreds of drones. The queen's role is to lay eggs that become either workers or drones. Workers perform all tasks in the colony including feeding larvae, building comb, collecting nectar and pollen. Drones do not work and their sole function is to mate with virgin queens. The life cycle begins with the queen laying an egg, which hatches into a larva and then becomes a pupa before emerging as an adult bee. The development time varies by caste with queens developing the quickest and drones taking the longest.
Extensive bee keeping and beekeeping equipment..Deepali Dhiware
Extensive beekeeping involves allowing honeybee populations to increase naturally through swarming, without medical treatments or close management by beekeepers. This allows natural selection to make the population genetically fit.

The document discusses beekeeping and bee hives. It explains that the Langstroth hive is most commonly used in the US, as it features movable frames that allow easy harvesting of honey. Some hobby beekeepers use top-bar hives instead, which have bars across the top for combs that cannot be reused after extraction. When keeping bee hives, beekeepers must consider placement away from homes and recreation areas, near food sources for bees, and protection from predators, vandals, and weather. Beekeeping requires year-round maintenance of hives.
This document summarizes information about honey bees and beekeeping. It discusses the classification of honey bees, including the four main species - Apis dorsata, Apis indica, Apis mellifera, and Apis florea. It describes the social organization and life cycle of honey bees. The document also outlines traditional and modern methods of beekeeping, including the use of movable frame hives, queen excluders, honey extractors, and other equipment. Finally, it discusses the main products of beekeeping, focusing on honey and providing details on honey's chemical composition, storage, and economic importance.

2. INTRODUCTION:
Honey bee is originated from Indian and South East Asia. Honey bees are reared in artificial hives
for honey and bees wax, and for the help they do in pollinating crop. The practice of rearing bees
is called apiculture or beekeeping and the place where the hives are maintained is called an apiary.
For artificial rearing of bees, Hive, beekeeping equipment’s, safety measures place an import role.
So, all the details about the mentioned above are discussed below.
BEE HIVE
Hive Stand: It is to support the bottom board.
Bottom board: It is floor of the hive which is having an small entrance for bees on one side.
Brood chamber rests on this board.
Brood chamber: The Chamber used for rearing of the brood. The frames are placed in brood
chamber on which bees raise combs or artificial combs are kept. The dimensions and number
of frames vary with the type of hive.
3. Brood Frame: Each frame consists of a top bar, two side and a bottom bar. Inner aspect of
the top bar has a groove for fixing comb foundation sheet. Side bar has 4 holes for wiring the
frame. The frame holds a comb.
Super: Bees store surplus honey in this chamber. The dimensions of this chamber may be
same as that of brood chamber or half of it.
Inner cover: A board which separates the brood or super chamber and the roof.
Top cover: It is a roof placed over inner cover.
TYPES OF BEE HIVES
There are different types of bee hives like,
Pot hive
book hive
Madhusagar hive
house hive
nucleous hive
single walled and double walled Dadant hives
British standard hive
Langstroth hive
Jeolikote hive and
Newton hive
In all these types, the hive designed by Rev.Fr. Newton is the most popular in South
India.
Newton’s hives, BIS hives and Marthandam hives are suited for rearing Indian bees.
Langstroth hives are suited for rearing Italian bees.
BEEKEEPING EQUIPMENTS:
Hive tool: An iron strip used for opening of hive, to separate frames and its cleaning.
4. Comb foundation mill: It is used for printing the natural cell size of desired comb
foundation sheet for A. mellifera and A. cerana
Smoker: Used to calm down the bees while opening the hive and during harvesting
honey.
Uncapping knife: Large sized knife used to uncap the frames during honey extraction.
Queen cell protector: A spring like structure for protecting queen cells.
5. Queen cage: Used to introduce a queen to new colony.
Bee brush: To brush the bees from frames during harvesting.
Feeders: The feeders are used for feeding sugar syrup to the bee colonies.
Swarm basket: Basket to catch bee swarm
6. Queen excluder: Perforated sheets assembled in such a way that
workers can pass through them and queen cannot (perforation size is 4.20mm for A. mellifera
whereas worker thorax size varies from 3.33 to 3.50mm). It is used during honey flow season to
restrict queen to brood chamber and thereby preventing egg laying in the super. It is also used in
maintaining multiple queen system in a colony.
Honey extractor: It is a machine that works on a principle of centrifugal force which
centrifuge out the honey from uncapped frames.
Wax melter: Double walled chamber for melting of bees wax for making comb
foundation sheets
7. Pollen trap: For trapping pollen of returning bee foragers: For A. mellifera pollen trapping
screen has holes of 4.7 to 5mm. and for A. cerana 3.5 to 3.7mm.
Bee escape: To provide one-way passage to bees.
SAFEGUARDS
Upper Body Protection
Bee Hat and Veil: Used for preventing bee stings on face and neck
Jacket: A popular option for beekeepers is a beekeeping jacket (as opposed to a full body
suit These are quicker to put on and often have a veil integrated into their design. They
are available in both ventilated and non ventilated.
8. Gloves: Protects hands from stings. And also gloves reduce the “touch and finesse” when
undertaking a hive inspection.
Lower Body Protection
Pants: Many beekeepers do not use specially designed pants. But no regular clothing
protects entirely against bee stings. Even heavy-duty jeans can be penetrated by a
determined worker bee.
Boots: Protects legs from stings. The one important point here is that you should
ensure no gap exists between the bottom of your pants and your feet.
Bee Suits: Protects full body from
9. CONCLUSION:
It is very important to save all the honey bees as they are the major pollinators of major crops and
Humans will be out of food if the bees extinct. So, artificial beekeeping is playing a key role in
increasing the population of honey bees. Acquainting the knowledge of artificial beekeeping,
equipment’s needed, and safety measures that should be taken care for this is very important.
