Steps to start Honey Bee Farming

Summer is the best season to start a bee farm since there are ample blooming flowers to provide enough nectar and pollen.

Bees need sunlight, water, and a solid hive. At certain times of the year, they might also require food. If possible, it is better to set up the hive next to a fence or protected tree line.

Initially, you should start your beekeeping adventure in India with two hives as a colony behaves differently in different seasons.

You should have a clear understanding of bees, their uses, and the diseases and pests that may affect their well-being.

Beekeeping essentials include smoker and hive equipment, protective clothing, and the tools required to handle honey harvesting.

The majority of beekeepers take honey 2–3 times per season/ per year. Typically, you should gather honey from mid-June through mid-September.
