The NEH area of India's honeybee variety, pollination, entrepreneurship, and beekeeping situation

Abstract

There is a lot of promise for beekeeping in northeastern India due to its varied feed supplies. Apis dorsata, A. florea, A. cerana himalaya, A. mellifera, A. laboriosa, and Trigona iridepennis are the species of honeybees found in the northeastern hill area. In order to meet its pollination demands, modern agriculture now heavily depends on bees. The predominant sporomorphs identified by pollen analysis from the northeastern hill area were Brassica sp., Solamun sp., Helianthus sp., Wendlandia sp., Clematis sp., Adhatoda sp., and Mussaenda sp. 107 plants from northeastern India were found to be bee flora. Beekeeping may foster a variety of entrepreneurial endeavours, such as raising honey bees, selling honey bee colonies, advising farmers on honey bee rearing, processing honey on a big scale, and marketing honey products. The information that is now available on the variety of honeybees, pollination, entrepreneurship, and beekeeping scenarios for sustainable agriculture in the northeastern hill area is examined and explored.
