摘要

A two-year survey study was conducted in three states of Northern India, namely Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana, during the year 2021 and 2022. Information on various parameters and practices related to the rearing of hive bees (Apis mellifera L. and Apis cerana indica) was gathered through questionnaires from randomly selected beekeepers in specific locations of these states. The compiled data covered brood diseases, beekeepers’ awareness levels, management practices adopted for maintaining bee colonies, honey storage practices, and the migratory routes followed by beekeepers. General information on name, address of beekeepers, species and number of colonies were also recorded. The survey revealed that ectoparasitic mites, European foulbrood, sacbrood, Nosema diseases, and instances of wasp, bird, and bear attacks were present in the beekeepers’ apiaries. Commonly adopted management practices included sulphur dusting, formic acid fumigation for diseases, and hand killing for wasps. The findings provide valuable insights into the prevalent conditions and management strategies employed by beekeepers of these three states.
