Apiculture: Beekeeping Practices and Their Role in Agriculture
Apiculture refers to the practice of keeping and managing honey bees for honey, beeswax, pollen, royal jelly, propolis, and other useful materials. It is an agricultural activity that combines traditional knowledge with modern methods of hive management. Beekeepers maintain colonies in specially designed hives, monitor bee health, provide suitable food sources, and protect colonies from pests and environmental stress.
