Abstract

Insect pollinators are a key stone process in both human managed and natural terrestrial ecosystems. Bees are very important in determining the yield and quality in crops. Solitary bees, bumble bees and honey bees are the biggest groups of insects for pollination because of their sufficient body hair and their behaviour patterns. Beekeeping is an important component of agriculture that promotes rural diversification and is an alternative source of income. The role of beekeeping is providing nutritional, economic and ecological security to rural communities at the household level. This is non-land-based activity of mixed farming and does not compete with other resource demanding. Although pollination improves crop yield, there is still few studies in Punjab, India, Sydney, Australia that links its role to the economic benefits gained by farmers.
