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. Extensive beekeepers rely on the bees' natural abilities and use low-cost traditional equipment like moveable frame hives, smokers, veils, and tools. Their honey yields are satisfactory and products are premium quality due to an absence of treatments and residues.

3. BEEKEEPING IS a the cultivation of bees on a commercial scale for the
production of honey.
OR
The practice or profession of keeping and caring for bees.
Extensive – it is the natural rearing of honeybees. Intensive- is in industrial
style

4. WHAT IS EXTENSIVE BEEKEEPING
 In an extensive system of beekeeping, the
population increases through natural swarming.
 beekeepers want honey bee to swarms
 Extensive beekeepers depend on the natural
ability of their bees and the process of natural
selection to remain healthy.
 They do not use medicines, they have no
management control - so cannot check for
diseases.
 If a colony lead to an illness or weakness then an
extensive beekeeper is likely to just let this
happen. The outcome is the survival of the fittest.

5. viewed as part of an
Extensive beekeeping system they
are:
•efficient An extensive beekeeper
will make another hive.
•low risk Natural reproduction maintains
genetic diversity
Survival of the fittest
•cost-effective Healthy bees – no costs for
inspections or medicines
•And the bees are healthy No human-caused
transmission of diseases.

6. No transition of
honey bee diseases at high risk.
Natural evolution of
bees and pathogens
is allowed to take
Place as it is natural process of
rearing.
Population is
genetically fit.

7. 1. Extensive beekeeping
is less stressful for
Bees because its natural.
2. Reduced stress
promotes health.
3. Natural reproduction
among a large
population ensures
genetic fitness.
4. Genes and natural
selection protect the
Population.

8. Total yields are satisfactory
Hives are cheap - can afford
Many
Healthy bees – no costs for
inspections or medicines and treatment.
No residues – premium
product – honey & beeswax.

9. • the bee keeping equipment are equipment's need for handling & honey rearing
and for beekeeping properly.
• The Beekeeping is an important part & there four while keeping bee colonies in an
apiary, the bee keeper requires a number of equipment's like…..
• Bee box, hive stand, comb foundation sheets, smoker, queen excluder, hive tools,
• Protecting clothing, honey extractor, uncapping knife, bee brush, bee veil, queen cell
protector etc.

10. BEE BOX
The langstroth type of box are of
American origin.
It has a 10 frame hive commonly
used in India & other country for
keeping bee colonies.
It is made up of Stand, bottom
board, brood chamber, standard
langstroth frame, queen excluder,
super, inner cover, top cover,
comb foundation sheet
A Langstroth hive is a hive made
up of stacked boxes of various
depths, a floor, inner cover and
roof.
Within each box are wooden
frames in which the bees build
their comb. It is the most
common hive.

11. COMB FOUNDATION SHEET
 It’s a artificially made sheets of comb with hexagonal
pattern.
 The sheets are fixed in the top of the frame by bee wax.
 These sheets are used by bees during building of comb.
 By using such a type of comb bee produce more honey,
cz they need not waste more energy to build new comb.
 The comb foundation are strong.

12. HONEY
EXTRACTOR
•Honey extractor available in variety of
size.
•It is an instrument used for separation of
honey, from honey comb.
•It is made from metal or tin material.
•The fine wire fitted into it and it operated
on electric power.
•Honey come out under centrifugal force
and collected at bottom and come out
through cock and collected in bottles.

13. SMOKER
• A bee smoker (usually called
simply a smoker) is a device used
in beekeeping to calm honey bees.
•It consist of tin can which
provided with spout and bellows to
blow air in.
•Smoke come out from spout and
directed with help of bellows.
•2 type of smoker commonly used
•Bent nose and straight nose.
•It is used for easy handling of
bees.

14. Bee veil, OVERALL and gloves
 Bee veil is made up of silk or
cotton and wire gauze.
 It covers over face by beekeeper
while handling bees.
 It protect against bee Stings.
 The gloves are made of thick
leather.
 They are cover overs hand
during handling bee colonies.
 It protect against bee sting.

15. Hive Tool and Bee Brush
• HIVE TOOL • BEE BRUSH
 It is a brush which used to brush off bees
from a comb
 It done before comb is taken away from
extraction.
 It is the flat piece of steel shaped at
one end.
 It inserted between hive box to
separate them.
 The other end is bend to separate
frames.

16. Uncapping knife and Queen excluder
 This is a double-sided, Z-shape uncapping
knife.
 used to be heated and easily cut wax
capping off from the frames for honey
extraction.
 in beekeeping, the queen excluder is a
selective barrier inside the beehive made up
of wood and wire .
 It allows worker bees but not the larger
queens and drones to traverse the barrier.
