IMPORTANCE OF APICULTURE
The honey obtained from bees is used by human beings because of its
food and medicinal value
.
Honey is also used in the
preparation
of bread, biscuits, cakes, alcoholic drinks and as fish and poultry food.
Bee wax obtained is used in the
manufacture
of cosmetics, paints, face creams, ointments, insulators, polishes and for laboratory microtomy.
It provides
job opportunities.
In addition to these, bees perform
natural cross pollination
which leads to an increase in yield of plant products due to
hybridization
. This is useful in agriculture and horticulture.
