Pollination Services How Beekeeping Supports Sustainable Farming

Himadri Rabha

Abstract

Pollination remains a central ecological process essential for sustainable agricultural production. Honey bees provide a major share of managed pollination worldwide and their contribution directly influences yield quality seed formation and ecosystem stability. Many food crops depend on animal pollination and the decline of natural pollinators has increased the reliance on managed honey bee colonies. Through their large foraging range and high visitation efficiency honey bees enhance fruit set seed viability and crop uniformity.
