Perspective in Indian Apiculture

The basic facts about bees and beekeeping remain the same world over and sufficient literature is available on these fundamentals. However, basics on practical aspects of apiculture are more or less specific to different regions/countries. Therefore, the book, Perspectives in Indian Apiculture was planned with sixteen chapters on the practicality of beekeeping and the scope of each chapter was specified by the editor.
