From time immemorial, the bee has been a well-known type of small, industrious and useful insect. They are usually called social insects because they live in groups. From bees we get honey and wax. Bees pollinate flowers and increase the production of forest, fruit and agricultural crops. Some types of bees can be reared or farmed in boxes. And can be more profitable.

Species of bees There are generally three species of bees in our country, namely: (1) mountain bees, (2) Indian bees and (3) small bees. (1) Mountain bees: These are the largest in size. They tie wheels on the branches of big trees and on the hills. The average honey production per wheel is about 10 kg each time. They do not mean pets so they cannot be reared in boxes. (2) Indian bees: They are medium in size. They tie wheels in dark or hidden places like tree folks, cracks in walls, cupboards, brick piles etc. The average honey production per wheel is about 4 kg. They are calm in nature. So it can be nurtured in a box. It is up to the queen to decide what kind of eggs she will lay. The new queen will be made from fertilized eggs. The new queen is made by eating a special kind of food (royal jelly or rajsudha) under the supervision of worker bees. For this food he is able to lay eggs later and his life span is increased. The lifespan of a queen bee is about 2/3 years. Male bees: These are medium sized. Their eyes are big. But they do not have stings. Their only job is to meet the queen. They are very lazy in nature. Even they often do not take their own food. The workers feed. Only one male bee is able to mate with the queen. But after the meeting, the man died. The lifespan of male bees is about one and a half months.
