Rearing Season :
Seeds or colonies are normally available
during spring i.e. February to March as this is a peak-breeding season of
the honeybees. Colonies can be collected from the natural sources or may
be procured from the beekeepers. Rearing can be started with three or four
frame worker bee having one year mated queen. During winter (December to
January) and in spring (February to March) are the best seasons to start
beekeeping. |
