The correct answer is: d) All of the above.
Apiculture (beekeeping) is the maintenance of bee colonies, commonly in man-made hives, by humans. Most such bees are honey bees in the genus Apis, but other honey-producing bees such as Melipona stingless bees are also kept. A beekeeper (or apiarist) keeps bees in order to collect their honey and other products that the hive produces (including beeswax, propolis, pollen, and royal jelly), to pollinate crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers.
Apiculture in Nagaland is a traditional practice that has been passed down for generations. The main products of apiculture in Nagaland are honey, wax, and propolis. Honey is used as a sweetener and as a traditional medicine. Wax is used to make candles, furniture polish, and other products. Propolis is used as a traditional medicine and as a preservative.
Apiculture is an important part of the Nagaland economy. It provides employment for many people and contributes to the state’s food security. Apiculture is also important for the environment, as bees play a vital role in pollination.
