Beekeeping Business Of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan

Views 13

Beekeeping, a profitable business in Azad Kashmir-he demand of Pakistani honey is always on the rise in Gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia and UAE due to its better quality and low sugar contents.

HONEYBEES are social insects that live in hives and feed on pollen and nectar. Bees carry pollen thus enabling plants to produce seeds.

A beehive needs only 20-30lbs of honey to survive winter. One hive produces 60lbs of honey in a season. Nectar serves as the bee’s source of energy, and pollen as a source of protein. The larvae are fed with the bee’s milk, derivative of a gland of young adult worker bee.

Honeybees travel as far as 55,000 miles and visit more than two million flowers to gather enough nectar to make a pound of honey. The insects perform several ecological and economic functions without competing for scarce land resources. The best time for beekeeping is from October to November and in the spring season.

Pakistan is now able to export prime quality produce at competitive price. Around 240,000 colonies of honeybee are available in all the four provinces and Azad Kashmir. The yield of honey per colony has increased from 4kg to 21kg, while the total production has increased from 250 tons to 2,500 tons.

Honey production is a profitable business. The NWFP produces some of the world’s best quality honey.

In the Northern Areas and the NWFP there are over 6,000 honey colonies. The NWFP region is a focal point in the origin and evolution of honeybees.
