India has long tradition of obtaining honey from wild bees but in the context of landscape level forest resource planning and management, it has not received due recognition; honey collection is treated as a minor forest product. With a paradigm shift in forest resource ownership towards forest dwellers, who by default practice eco friendly cultivation on marginal land holdings that have sub-optimal production potentials. Apiculture practices on such lands are expected to provide not only boost in agri/horti production but also provide an additional income generation activity. As Israel is reported to have introduced exotic eucalypts from Australia to augment bee flora for optimizing honey bee products, a study tour was made for its appraisal and relevance in our context. Field visits and dialogue with representative major key stake holders/facilitators/researchers etc, confirmed the success. Similar concerted effort involving local stake holders, for multi-locations pilot scale, species trials with indigenous species as control are recommended.Keywords
