Abstract
Honey and beekeeping have a long history in Pakistan. Bee hives neither demand additional land
space nor do compete with agriculture or animal husbandry for any input. The beekeepers need only
to spare a few hours in a week to look after their bee colonies. Therefore, there is a great scope for
expansion of bee keeping industry in the country. Pakistan currently has around 16000 beekeepers
with 0.5 million honeybee colonies. Beekeeping does not compete with other enterprises for resources
as the bees use nectar and pollen grains of plants. Therefore, this enterprise can be taken up both at the
household and commercial levels to generate substantially more profits.
