Abstract

Insect pollinators are the mean of pollination, an ecosystem service which regulates natural ecosystem. Bees are efficient pollinators and key element for sustaining environment without which many species of plants would not survive in many forests. Bees are becoming a source of income and livelihood for many forest dwellers. Such bee population was declining at alarming rate due to various factors including shrinkage in natural ecosystems. Hence, integrating bee floral trees into agroforestry system and apiculture would be considered as an optimal opportunity to augment bee population for sustainable biodiversity conservation.

Keywords
