According to data, accessed by the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), with a total of 214,504 functional bee hives across the UT, the honey industry remains a key part of J&K’s agricultural economy, with private beekeepers contributing the majority of the production. Anantnag topped the list with 4,029.06 quintals, followed by Ramban (3,654.80 quintals) and Kupwara (1,140.00 quintals).
