Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Apis cerana indica (the Indian honeybee) is the most commonly domesticated species for commercial apiculture (beekeeping) in India. It is well-adapted to the local climate and is less aggressive than Apis dorsata (the rock bee). Apis mellifera (the Italian bee) is also widely used globally and in India for its high honey yield and gentle nature. Apis florea is the little bee, which is not suitable for commercial beekeeping.
