The present study was conducted in ten districts of Jharkhand, India to assess the potentiality of beekeeping as a subsidiary source of income to small and marginal farmers. About 1000 beekeepers from 40 villages of 20 blocks of 10 districts were identified as the beneficiaries to obtain the primary data of the study through schedules. The results revealed that, honey has immense potential to increase the farmers’ income. Entrepreneurship development by providing proper training and other handholding supports from various stakeholders will develop the sector to pave the way for sustainable “Meethi Kranti” and Doubling of Farmers’ income in a time bound manner. India’s honey estimated production is 1.05 lakh metric tons during 2017-2018.With the existing vegetation wealth about 150 million bee colonies can be sustained, which may produce more than 1.50 lakh tonnes of honey annually in India. In addition to phenomenal enhancement in crop productivity with higher returns from per unit area, it may generate employment to around 15 million landless rural and tribal families.
