Explanation:

The word ‘apiculture’ comes from the Latin word ‘apis’

meaning bee. So, apiculture or beekeeping is the care and management of honey bees for the production of honey and

the wax. In this method of apiculture, bees are bred

commercially in apiaries, an area where a lot of beehives can

be placed. Apiaries can be set up in areas

where there are sufficient bee pastures – usually areas that

have flowering plants.

Products obtained

Bees are mainly reared for their honey. Besides that, we also obtain beeswax through beekeeping. Bees produce honey from the sugary secretions of plants. Although honey is an important ingredient in many food dishes, beeswax holds a lot of commercial significance too. It is used in the cosmetic and medical industry, as well as a coating for cheese, and as a food additive. It is also used as the main component for making candles, preparing polishes for the shoe, furniture, etc.
