Q.Enlist any two domesticated species of honeybee and write their role in increasing crop yield.

Apis mellifera (Italian/European honeybee) and Apis cerana indica (Indian honeybee) are two domesticated species reared in apiculture; while foraging for nectar and pollen they cross-pollinate crop flowers, signif...

Domesticated Apis mellifera and Apis cerana indica pollinate crops while foraging, raising yield.

Apiculture (beekeeping) commonly rears two species: Apis cerana indica, the native Indian bee well adapted to local conditions, and Apis mellifera, the European/Italian bee valued for higher honey yield and widely introduced for commercial beekeeping. Besides producing honey and wax, these bees are important pollinators — as worker bees move from flower to flower collecting nectar and pollen for the hive, pollen sticking to their hairy bodies is transferred between flowers, effecting …

Apiculture is the scientific rearing/management of honeybee colonies for commercial production of honey.

Apiculture = beekeeping for honey and other bee products.

Apiculture is the branch of animal husbandry concerned with the scientific rearing and management of honeybee colonies in artificial hives, mainly for the commercial production of honey, though it also improves crop yields through pollination. Besides honey, apiculture yields several other valuable products: beeswax (used in cosmetics, candles, polishes), royal jelly (a nutrient-rich secretion fed to the queen larva, used in health/cosmetic products), bee venom (used in some th …
