Unprecedented Work of Honey Bees – Part 1
! Unprecedented work of Honey Bees for the increase in environment and agricultural production !
Bees and agricultural production are inextricably linked with nature. Bees have proven the importance of producing food grains and doubling the production of fruits by experiment. Bees do the important work of pollinating food grains and fruits. At the same time, bees do the great work of collecting nectar from the flowers of crops and fruit trees and producing honey. Pollination and fertilization increase the yield. A bee produces one teaspoon of honey in 120 days. The bee travels up to three km to collect nectar and liquid. And it collects 80% of the weight of the bee. Two and a half thousand new bees are produced in a hive. While the bees are collecting honey, they produce food for the young bees. Honey is the main food of the small bees produced in the hive and it is a natural food. Honey has very nutritious properties. In Maharashtra, honey business is being done on a large scale in Mahabaleshwar, Wardha, Melghat, Tadoba, and many hilly plateau areas. Due to this, there has been a huge increase in the agricultural income and fruit yield of the surrounding areas. Collecting honey for tribal people. This supplementary industry is becoming economically profitable. The reason for this is that economic prosperity has started to be achieved while analyzing. A sustainable market for honey has been achieved through Khadi Village Industries. There is a huge demand for quality honey for export all over the world. We can earn 1000 crores of foreign exchange from the honey business. Our country exports honey abroad by packing it in quality. And there is a huge demand for it. One, an important place for honey production has been created in the state of Maharashtra. Today, our Maharashtra is rich in natural resources. It is covered by mountains, Sahyadri, Vindhya and vast mountain ranges and forests. Agriculture in Maharashtra has been revolutionized by irrigation. This is a fertile environment for honey production from bee products. The conditions and climate conducive to the production of bee hives are naturally created in our state. Bees only produce honey and wax. At the same time, pollination has increased the production of crops and orchards in the fields by 60%. This has become clear after research and studies. Bees are an integral part of the national income. Its conservation and growth are being done by the government. While bees are doing this work, pollination and fertilization are being done in the agricultural sector. In a way, bees are friends of farmers and are a link to increase income. Due to this, the gross income of the farmer is increasing. The honey produced by the tribal people has helped improve their living standards. Through the State Khadi and Village Industries Board, the honey business has become valuable for the tribal community. The tribal people are doing the work of collecting honey from mountain cotton and trees. And they are getting proper remuneration for it. The Khadi Village Industries Corporation is creating an important link in bringing about fundamental changes in the rural economy. Many schemes are being implemented for this. The government is being made famous at the state level as a honey village. We have the important work of collecting honey from the Bhil tribe. Honey is extracted from the hives on the trees. But these people lack training in honey collection. While collecting this honey, the hives are burned to extract honey. This work is very wrong. Because if the bees are killed, how will the next generation be produced and there will be a huge loss in agricultural income. It is felt that destroying bees is an act of treason. Sometimes, bees die of suffocation due to the creation of huge smoke. Destroying bees means destroying nature. Bees are the food chain of humans. Bees are killed by spraying chemicals on them. Similarly, China killed sparrows on the fields because they eat food. As a result, agricultural income was halved due to lack of pollination. The government should ban such people and punish them as criminals. Therefore, the biodiversity of nature should be maintained by protecting bees. In our country, to increase agricultural production, shepherds keep goats in the fields and produce manure and urine. This fertilizer production is completely organic. Goat manure and urine are very nutritious for agriculture. And the income doubles. In return, shepherds are paid money in the form of grain or cash. And goats are kept in the fields of farmers. But we can understand how the green revolution in agriculture has been achieved by taking the example of a small country, Israel. This country has brought about a great revolution in agriculture. Goats are not kept in the agriculture of that country. But this country has achieved sustainable development of agriculture through beekeeping. Some people in that country have a beekeeping business. Bee boxes are given to farmers’ fields on a commercial basis. Beekeeping biotechnology has been used to achieve a developed agricultural business. And that business has been successfully supplemented by agricultural business. Today, it has been possible to increase the productivity of crops per hectare more successfully than the previous level. After the orchards and agricultural products are in bloom, the bee boxes are sold on rent in the agricultural area. At the same time, the quality of the agricultural products has improved. Farming has become very profitable due to domesticated bees and bumblebees. When the orchards and agricultural products are in bloom, these bees work to collect honey. At that time, by pollinating through their mouths and feet, bees play an important role in the production and growth of seeds of fruits and agricultural crops. Due to the process of these bees, agricultural income and orchard income have become profitable for Israeli farmers. Due to this natural quality, the fruits, food grains and honey produced are of very high quality. Today, three thousand metric tons of honey is produced from only 70 thousand domesticated beehives, along with the honey yield, a record revolution has taken place in agricultural income and orchard production and the country has succeeded in creating a wealthy peasant class.
