Constraints of Bee Keepers Uttarakannada.

Abstract

A detailed study on beekeeping and beekeepers of Uttarakannada showed major administrative, technical, and financial constraints. Low and limited subsidy (17.34%), tax on extractor and bee box (18.8%), lack of supply of colonies along with boxes (15.6%) and sanction of migration grant (15.49%) are the major administrative and financial constraints of beekeepers. Non-accessibility of modern bee management technology for the practices of queen rearing and value addition of bee products are the other constraints (6.25%).Lack of awareness in disease control because of knowledge practice gap is the other problem to be noticed.
