Beekeeping is a minus pollution industry, that means, it not only is pollution free activity but also, in its totality, being
vegetation loving occupation, helps prevent pollution created by other industrial activities. As in the case of all other
industries beekeeping too causes multi-pronged employment generation. The added advantage is that it basically
creates employment through small and rural scale enterprises. Indeed, if organized properly, it has the potential of
preventing the out flow of rural folk from villages towards cities. Beekeeping is a traditional activity in most of the
area of district Chamba. People take honey bees as a source of nuisance, know only that honey can be squeezed from
the combs and know very little of the multi-pronged benefits of them. The bee flora not uniformly spread over all
areas. It is either concentrated in and around forests for suitable cropped areas and orchards or has long seasonal gaps
.Therefore, melissopalynological investigation is a evaluation of plants for their utility as sources of bee forage
provides the information needed to assess the potential for beekeeping in an area. Melissopalynological studies are
thus helpful in bee management and in promoting beekeeping development.
