Abstract

The present study aimed to assess the ‘level of skill’ of rural women about scientific apiculture practices and to find the relationship of different characteristics of women with their level of apiculture practice skill. Total 100 respondents were selected from Pusa block of Samastipur district. Seven villages were selected purposively in which 50 trained who have received training from Apicultural Research Training Centre , RAU Pusa to serve as experimental group and equal number of untrained women who have not undergone any skill oriented apiculture training programme were also selected randomly to serve as control group. The study indicated that the trained women differed significantly over the untrained women in respect of their improvement in skill. The proportion of trained women was more in ‘high level of skill’ of improved apiculture practices in comparision to the untrained women. Multiple regression analysis revealed that three characteristics i.e. caste family education and economic motivation contributed positively and significantly towards improvement in level of skill of recommended technologies among trained women. Hence, it can be said that training has positive impact on apiculture practices of women beekeepers
