Lac is the scarlet resinous secretion of a number of species of lac insects, of which the most commonly cultivated species is Kerria lacca.
Cultivation begins when a farmer gets a stick ( broodlac) that contains eggs ready to hatch and ties it to the tree to be infested. [1] Thousands of lac insects colonize the branches of the host trees and secrete the resinous pigment. The coated branches of the host trees are cut and harvested as sticklac.

Hey!!
IT is tolerably well known that lac is a resinous substance secreted by a scale insect (family Coccidae) known as Laccifer lacca (Kerr.). The production of lac is virtually a monopoly of India and Burma. The greater amount of lac is produced in Bihar: outside India, lac is grown in small quantities in Ceylon, Java, Borneo, Malay States, Siam, China and Indo-China.
