Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at University Apiary, RPCAU, Pusa (Samastipur) and Beekeeping Unit, TCA, Dholi (Muzaffarpur) in ‘Rabi 2021-22’ on Rajendra Dhania-2 variety of coriander. Several recordings were taken in order to calculate the impact of temperature and relative humidity on honey bee species abundance. Study showed that population of Apis mellifera and Apis dorsata increased with increase in temperature while population reduced with increasing relative humidity, whereas Apis florea and Apis cerana indica showed exactly opposite pattern.
