Alternatively, apiaries are often associated with these water sources; indeed, the abundance of apiaries here is unparalleled.
But at the highest level of income and risk, the allocation of crop area increased to 1 ha and the apiary allocation was 4 units.
A marginal farmer must allocate a smaller number of apiary units while medium and large farmers can have more.
However, at the highest risk level, the enterprise allocations were crop (0.75 ha), dairy (1 unit), fishery (0.25 ha), mushroom (0.72 units), apiary (2 units) and biogas (1 unit).
Apiary does not compete for land resources hence it is also an attractive enterprise for marginal and small farmers.
Until now, the disease has been confirmed in 267 apiaries within the infected area.
Due to the scope of the problem, we need to consider providing financial support to apiaries threatened with extinction.
All known apiaries within a 5 km radius of the infected premises are currently under movement restrictions.
