About bees

cpc code 02196 covers the industry of beekeeping and honey production. Bees play a crucial role in the global ecosystem, acting as pollinators for a wide variety of crops and plants. The honey and other bee-derived products generated by this industry are not only valuable food sources but also have numerous industrial and medicinal applications, making it an important component of the broader agricultural and manufacturing sectors.

Production process

The primary production techniques in the beekeeping industry involve the management and care of bee colonies. This includes the installation and maintenance of beehives, the monitoring and control of bee populations, the harvesting of honey and other bee products, and the processing and packaging of these outputs for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the beekeeping industry include the bees themselves, which are typically acquired through the purchase of bee colonies or the capture of wild swarms. Other key inputs include beekeeping equipment such as hives, frames, and protective gear, as well as various supplements and treatments to maintain the health and productivity of the bee colonies. Additionally, the industry relies on access to suitable land and floral resources to support the bees' foraging activities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the beekeeping industry are honey, beeswax, propolis, and royal jelly. These products have a wide range of applications, including 20510 Food Manufacturing, 32519 Other Chemical Product Manufacturing, and 32542 Pharmaceutical and Medicine Manufacturing. The pollination services provided by bees also contribute to the productivity of various 11 Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting industries.
