Creator Verma, L R
 
Subject 638.1 Bee Keeping (Apiculture)
 
Description Honeybees are social insects with which man has established a harmonious coexistence. These insects have provided humanity with the very basis of civilization because of their highly evolved social behaviour and being the source of the earliest sweet food and trade commodity. Besides, honeybees provide free ecosystem services in the form of cross-pollination and propagation of several cultivated and wild plant species, thereby maintaining biological diversity. They, therefore, not only boost crop productivity but also help in the conservation of forests and grassland ecosystems and save several botanical sources from extinction.
