Beekeepers were selected the costs and return of beekeeping and assess the scope of beekeeping. The benefit cost ratio of beekeeping for district Pulwama was 1.54 and for district Srinagar was 1.47.which showed that this business was profitable. It will be a great source of employment creation for the rural poor people to reduce the poverty.
