Q4 of 77 Page 67

A farmer was facing the problem of low yield from his farm. He was advised to keep a beehive in the vicinity. Why? How would the beehive help in enhancing yield?

• A beehive would have a large number of honey bees. Honey bee is the major pollinator of many plants.


• This would help in increasing the rate of the pollination.


• When beehive will be in vicinity of the farm, the pollination of the crops will takes place at a good rate.


• Good pollination results in the increase in the seed production, ultimately increasing the crop of plants.


• More crop means, more yield.


Hence, a farmer facing the problem of low yield from his farm was advised to keep a beehive in the close vicinity.
