Key Points

- On this occasion Director Horticulture Harminder Singh Baweja informed that apart from honey production, bees increase agricultural production by increasing pollination.
- Similarly products like royal jelly, propolis, beeswax, pollen, comb honey and bee venom are also prepared by beekeepers.
- It is worth noting that Sweet Revolution is an ambitious initiative of the Government of India to promote beekeeping, which is known as 'beekeeping'. The National Beekeeping and Honey Mission was launched by the government in the year 2020 (under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare) to promote the sweet revolution.
