2. Honey Age old food as well as medicine. Immune system booster –Anabolic –Anti cancerous. No adverse effects in consumption. Fuel for burning fat – healing wounds. Called as -“FOOD OF GODS”

3. Status in India At present, about 12,699 Beekeepers and 19.34 lakhs honey bees colonies are registered with National Bee Board India is producing about 1,33,200 Metric tonnes of Honey (2021-22 2nd advance estimate). India is one of the major honey exporting countries in the World and has exported 74,413 MT of Honey worth Rs. 1221.17 Crores during 2021-22. More than 50% of the honey production in India is being exported to other countries. India export honey to about 83 countries. Mustard honey, eucalyptus honey, lychee honey, sunflower honey, pongamia honey, multi-flora Himalayan honey, acacia honey and wild flora honey are some of the major varieties of honey exported

4. Honey consumption & market out look Foreign countries –HONEY- Part of food-but ours- its not. Developed countries – interested-production & exporting.......but in INDIA ,<60% production only. INDIVIDUAL CONSUMPTION :- GERMANY – 10-15kg/yr INDIA - 8.4g/ yr

5. PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION… Out of total production -80% consumed in HOUSEHOLDS. 10% - AYURVEDIC preparations. <10% - BAKERY & CONFECTIONARIES.

6. Honey constituents Water -20.5% Fructose -36.0% Glucose – 31.3% Sucrose – 1.3% Maltose – 6.0% Other sugars – 1.5% Others – 3.2%

7. Honey harvesting and processing Honey hunter climbs the trees and lights fire near the comb in such a way that it produces maximum smoke but no flame. Too much of smoking kills the bees. The bees are thus driven away. Honey is collected in containers, which is slipped down with the help of a rope. Honey is separated centrifuge, or some times it is heated over a bath of water. Heat should be just sufficient to help in melting wax. Too much of heating decomposes honey. Wax is skimmed off from the surface to separate honey. It is stored in cool and dry places.

8. Used of Honey In Confectionary : sweet meat containing honey ,nuts, dried fruits & eggwhites,Halvah,pasteli, nougot etc. In Alcoholic drinks :honey beer production In Medicines : Manuka honey from New Zealand In Soap & cosmetics

11. Bee wax Young bees in the hive take part in the construction of the hive. 8 wax glands of honey bee on the underside of the abdomens of the young bees secret small wax platelets. These are scraped off by the bee, chewed and masticated into pliable pieces with the addition of saliva and a variety of enzymes. Once chewed, attached to the comb and re-chewed several times, they finally form part of this architectural masterpiece, a comb of hexagonal cells, a 20 g structure which can support 1000 g of honey. Wax is used to cap the ripened honey. Together with propolis, wax is also employed for sealing cracks and covering foreign objects in the hive. The wax collected by the beekeeper is that which is used in comb construction.

13. Physical characteristics of beeswax Virgin beeswax, immediately after being secreted, elaborated and formed into comb, is white. It becomes darker with use inside the hive as pollen, silk and larval debris are inadvertently incorporated. Rendered, but untreated beeswax comes in varying shades of yellow. Pure white beeswax on the market has always been bleached. The melting point of beeswax is not constant since the composition varies slightly with its origin. Its relative density at 15  C is 0.958 - 0.970 g/cm 3

14. Uses of wax Beeswax candles are purported to be superior to other wax candles, because they burn brighter and longer, do not bend, and burn cleaner. Approximately one third of imported wax is used for cosmetics, one third for pharmaceutical preparations one fifth for candles and the rest for other, minor uses Beeswax is used in lip balm, lip gloss, hand creams, salves, and moisturizers; and in cosmetics such as eye shadow, blush, and eye liner. Preparation of ointments. Plasters & polishes. Moulds & dental , electronic industries. Pharmaceuticlly , it is an ingredient of paraffin ointment I.P.
