Discussion
The exotic bee (Apis mellifera) was successfully introduced in India for the first-time during the year ______.
Answer: C
The exotic bee Apis mellifera was successfully introduced in India in 1962, in Himachal Pradesh. Earlier attempts in 1880 and 1887 had failed, and the 1962 introduction established it for commercial beekeeping.
The years 1942, 1952 and 1972 are not the date of this successful introduction.
Earlier attempts to bring the European honey bee into India failed, and only the 1962 introduction in Himachal Pradesh at Nagrota Bagwan succeeded. After that, Apis mellifera spread to commercial beekeeping in Punjab, Haryana and other states.
