Beekeeping is often promoted in the context of rural development because the practice provides monetary, nutritional, and social benefits to poor families, without requiring land ownership or large amounts of capital investment. It can be practiced as an additional source of income for farmers in rural areas and has been successfully implemented in poverty-alleviating projects. Beekeeping plays a major role in the socio-economic development of rural livelihoods. Beekeeping is a lucrative business if set up properly.
