ABSTRACT

Beekeeping remains one of the profitable areas among agriculturists, which has not been exploited to its full potential. Among several limiting factors, honeybee enemies constitute a major factor. Wax moths and wasps cause heavy losses to beekeepers throughout the world, therefore, got maximum attention by researchers. In addition to these pests, bee lice, hive beetles, mites, ants, birds, rodents and mammals occasionally attain the status of serious pests in a particular situation. In the present article work done on various aspects of bee enemies viz., seasonal activity, life history, nature of damage and control measures is reviewed.
