Apart from farming, farmers not only do animal husbandry but they can also earn good income by doing work like beekeeping. Today many farmers are increasing their income by beekeeping. The government is also helping the farmers in this. Through a scheme related to beekeeping run by the Bihar government, farmers are being given bee boxes and honey extraction equipment.
Bihar government is giving a subsidy of about 75% to general category farmers and about 70% subsidy to scheduled caste and tribe farmers for beekeeping under the National Horticulture Mission and State Scheme. Not only this, along with this the Bihar government has set a target of providing 3000 bee boxes to the farmers of the state.
