Scientific Beekeeping Training Program Concludes in Tadepalligudem
A recent training program taught people about beekeeping, which is taking care of bees to get honey.
Twenty people, like farmers and some with engineering degrees, learned how to keep bees healthy and collect honey.
They found out about different types of bees, how to prevent them from getting sick, and the best places for them.
Setting up the equipment costs money, but beekeeping can lead to earning money by selling honey and other products.
The ideal conditions for bees were also explained.
A three-day scientific beekeeping training program concluded at Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK).
The workshop was attended by 20 rural women, youth, and farmers, including B Tech graduates.
Participants learned about beekeeping, honey extraction, and disease prevention.
Setting up four bee boxes per acre costs approximately Rs 25,000.
Beekeeping in horticultural farms can yield up to Rs 1 lakh per acre annually.
