he scientific method of rearing honeybees is known as Apiculture.

It deals with the

caring and management of honey bees to produce wax and honey. In this procedure,
bees are commercially bred in apiaries. Apiary is a region where several beehives
are placed. These apiaries can be set up in areas where there are enough bee
pastures, typically in areas having flowering plants.

Drone Brood Trapping

Large number of mites can be removed from an infected colony, without affecting the
worker population using drone brood trapping. Mites are attracted to the drone brood
for reproduction and thus a disproportionately large number of mites will be
associated with the drone brood. During May-July, a shallow frame may be placed in
the brood box, close to the brood area (Plate 20).
