00:00In Sarso Utpadan, not only Alwar district, but other states have also seen a surge in the number of mustard plants.

00:18This is due to the fact that when the flowers bloom in Sarso in Alwar, the honeybees and spinach of the surrounding areas settle here.

00:25Due to this, worries are drawn on the faces of the farmers of Sarso.

00:29The farmers believe that the flowers wither when the honeybees sit on the plants of Sarso.

00:34Due to this, the production of mustard decreases.

00:36However, according to experts, instead of decreasing the production of mustard, it increases by 15%.

00:43At this time, the harvest of mustard is good.

00:46The production of mustard is also good in the fields.

00:49The farmers have cultivated 10 acres of mustard in which they have spent 5 lakh rupees.

00:54The honeybees have come to the area.

00:57The honeybees sit in the fields of Sarso and damage the flowers.

01:05This will cause a lot of loss to the farmers.

01:07The harvest will not be good and they will have to face heavy losses.

01:11In the fields of Sarso, the honeybees sit on the flowers and damage the flowers.

01:25We have cultivated 3-4 acres of mustard.

01:29The people around us also have honeybees.

01:34At present, in Alwar, Ramgarh, Rajgarh, Raini, Baroda, Lakshmangarh, the honeybees have cultivated 13 acres of mustard.

01:43In Alwar district, there are about 450 honeybees.

01:46There are more than 50,000 colonies of honeybees.

01:49Mukesh Kumar Chaudhary, Assistant Director of the Department of Agriculture, tells us.

01:54People have a misconception that sitting on the flowers of the honeybees will damage the flowers or reduce the yield.

02:03This is a big misconception.

02:05However, the role of the honeybees in the cultivation of mustard is very big.

02:11When the honeybees cultivate mustard, the yield increases by 10-15%.

02:22The season of mustard is very suitable for the honeybees.

02:26The number of honeybees increases a lot in this season.

02:29The more the number of honeybees, the more the capacity of each box.

02:35If there are more honeybees, then they make their own colonies.

02:38Along with the local honeybees, honeybees from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab and even MP have come to us.

02:49Because at this time, the season of mustard is very good.

02:53According to the Department of Agriculture, 40% subsidy is also given to the honeybees for the cultivation of honeybees.
