Description The Indian hive bee, Apis cerana F. is found almost in all parts of the country, except perhaps the cold and hot desert because of non-availability of flora. Beekeeping with A. cerana is a common practice among rural communities in India. Indigenous methods of keeping bee colonies in log and wall hives are still common in Himachal Pradesh despite the fact that modern beekeeping started here in 1934 (Sharma et.al, 2000jb),Himachal Pradesh is very rich from the bee resources point of view. There are at present four species of the Apis. Of these, A. cerana F., A. dorsata F., A. florea F. are native to India and A. mellifera L. was introduced in the country during 1960 (Atwal and Goyal, 1973).
