Beekeeping has the potential to diversify the income of farmers in addition to regular farm income. This can lead to a wealthier farmer and also a respectable source of income to unemployed youth. The present research was designed to find out how farmers can maximize their apiary income by following practices that are scientifically proved. Apis melllifera colonies were managed at different initial strengths of 5, 10, and 15 frames and were subjected to three types of honey extractions namely regular, two times in the season, and one time during the entire honey flow season, during 2014–15 and 2015–16. Benefit cost ratio (B: C) indicates that 15 frame colonies having mean 1:1.50 were the highest return gainer while the weakest has the lowest with 1:1.73 during 2014–15, and 10 frame colonies were observed with a 1:1.63 B:C ratio that is good compared with five frame colonies. Total expenditure was lowest in fiveframe colonies 17729/- and 17035/-, the first during the first and second years respectively and similarly gave lowest net return 30535/- and 23552/- compared to 10 (43558/- & 34929/-) and 15 frames (52266/- and 49401/-) colonies. Honey extraction frequencies also have a remarkable impact on return and colony growth. Here five frame colonies with single extraction gave a net return of 34017/-, whereas the same strength colonies under regular extraction return, gave only 24715/-, A similar trend was observed with 10 and 15 frame strength. During the dearth period, colonies with high frame strength (15 frames) proved to be uneconomical, similar to that of the lowest frame colonies while 10 frame colonies remained the most economical.

除了常规的农业收入外，养蜂业还有可能使农民的收入多样化。这可以使农民变得更富有，也可以为失业青年提供可观的收入来源。本研究旨在了解农民如何通过遵循经科学证明的做法来最大限度地提高养蜂收入。蜜蜂在 5、10 和 15 帧的不同初始强度下对菌落进行管理，并在 2014-15 和 2015 年期间进行三种类型的蜂蜜提取，即定期提取、本季节两次和整个蜂蜜流动季节一次 – 16. 收益成本比（B：C）表明，在 2014-15 年期间，平均 1:1.50 的 15 个框架集落是收益最高的，而最弱的集落收益最低，为 1:1.73，观察到 10 个框架集落的 B 为 1:1.63 :C 比率与五个框架菌落相比是好的。总支出最低的是五格殖民地 17729/- 和 17035/-，第一年和第二年分别是第一年和第二年，与 10（43558/- 和 34929/-）相比，净收益最低为 30535/- 和 23552/-， 15 帧（52266/- 和 49401/-）菌落。蜂蜜提取频率也对返回和菌落生长产生显着影响。在这里，单次提取的五个框架集落的净回报为 34017/-，而相同强度的集落在常规提取下仅得到 24715/-，观察到类似的趋势，10 和 15 框架强度。在缺乏时期，具有高框架强度（15 框架）的菌落被证明是不经济的，类似于最低框架菌落，而 10 框架菌落仍然是最经济的。
