Commercial honey cultivation in the Jamalpur district, Bangladesh is rising day by day. Employment opportunities have also been created for many unemployed youths centering on honey farming.Beekeepers started to come to Jamalpur for commercial honey cultivation in 2015. Last year, 42 tonnes of honey were collected from these bee farms. The agriculture department estimates that 80 tonnes of honey will be collected this year. Beekeepers place rows of bee boxes near the fields of mustard, coriander, and black cumin crops. Each box contains several thousands of worker bees, including one queen bee. Beekeepers collect honey from the boxes every 10 to 15 days with the help of extractors. It is then stored in containers of different sizes. Beekeeping was on the rise due to the extensive cultivation of mustard, coriander, and black cumin in the region.
