You all have heard the saying, "Earthworms Are Farmers Friends". Here is the new thing: "HoneyBees - The Farmers Friend". Yes, indeed, you heard right. But still, wondering how that is even possible. Honeybees play a crucial role in the process of pollination, which includes crop production as well. Do you know that one-third of the food we consume depends on this pollination process, consisting of fruits like berries, almonds, cucumbers, and apples? We at Annam Farms, one of the best organic milk brands in Chennai, understand the importance of honeybees and have placed bee hives on our farms, thereby supporting pollination.
Hence, in this post, we will see how honey bees help in crop production and act as perfect pollinators.
Honeybees As A Pollinator:
It is an undeniable fact that other than earthworms and honeybees are beneficial as they are. In a country like India, where agriculture is the primary occupation for many, our crops require pollination to set seeds. Even dairy and meat industries rely on this pollination for animal fodder.
Some crops that depend on pollination are mango, carrot, grape, onion, potato, bean, pumpkin, sunflower, cucumber, and nuts. If you consider timber and fibre plants, they may not require pollination, but if granted, crop production can increase rapidly for generations to come.
Apart from these indirect benefits, placing a beehive also yields direct uses like beeswax and honey. Honey has numerous nutritional benefits which improve the health of the human body. In the case of beeswax, they are used as emulsifiers, thickeners, and the primary agent in cosmetics.
Our Annam dairy farm in Chennai contains beehives placed then and there to assist the pollination process. We strongly believe that the pollination caused by bees helps to maintain an ecological balance in our farmlands.
Hence, pollination is a service of nature, and by supporting this process, we help our ecosystem to stay balanced. So, visit our Annam farm, the organic milk suppliers in Chennai, to avail high-quality organic milk, which is farm-fresh.
