Government of india launched “Honey mission” under “sweet revolution” this will help doubling farmers income by 2024 said agricultural minister Narendra singh Tomar.
as a matter of fact one third of the food we consume each day relies on the pollination done by bees, they aren’t the ones threatening us by their stings they’re either saving .
Government has kept aside 500 crore budget for the beekeeping industry sighting its exceptional benefits, Bees not only provide us honey from their nectar but help in pollinating other crops too such as cotton and flax.
It’s something which needs least investment and will result in higher returns,
Government is also planning to train farmers for this particular sector which could be practiced along with their existing farm practices. Many countries have revolutionised this practice leading by China.
