end-use industries, the increase in demand for modern beekeeping and the
growing need for healthier ingredients in the food industry. Some of the
critical by-products which are sold through direct or indirect channels include
beeswax, propolis, live bees, bee pollen, honey, venom, royal jelly and others. Furthermore, honey types such as clover honey, wildflower honey and melipona honey provide great marketable opportunities. The market
for apiculture is supported by the government through various programs.
Additionally, rising investments in research and development activities

U.S Apiculture Market Drivers
Growing Consumption of Apicultural Products as an Influential Ingredient in Cosmetics and Personal Care Industry has Allowed Market Expansion:
Alternative
medicine, which employs natural biologically active substances obtained from
bee products, is getting more and more attention. Bee products have been used
not only in treatment but also for skin care as ingredients for cosmetics.
Numerous studies have also proved the effect of bee products on the skin and
the use of honey, propolis, bee pollen and bee venom in wound healing
highlights their curative value. Each bee product possesses specific active
substances which determine its use for various skin problems. Honey, propolis,
bee pollen, bee bread, beeswax and bee venom are bee products that are used
for medicinal purposes and cosmetic production. Additionally, royal jelly as a by-product offers immense medicinal benefits. Furthermore, the American Academy
of Dermatology Association claims that acne affects nearly 50 million Americans
each year and has been regarded as the most common skin condition in the
states. The usage of bee-venom has been widely accredited in solving the
current crisis of acne, as the said input inhibits toll-like receptors (TLR2)
and CD14 expression in tissues, which can act as a pharmaceutical alternative
for acne.
Rising Awareness and Options to Adopt for Natural Sugar Substitutes Augments Market Growth:
Consumers
within the U.S. widely substitute ordinary sugar with honey in commonly consumed food products such as pieces of bread, cereals and others. Furthermore, honey is attributed to a higher shelf-life and its chemical structure remains buoyant
over a period of time. . Furthermore, honey benefits from its status as a natural
ingredient. As per the Food Dive article in 2019, sales within the U.S. for
honey have soared in the past five years, while those for sugar have slumped.
U.S. Sugar sales dropped by nearly 10-12%, although holding popularity, but
sales of honey have soared nearly 50-55%. The growing cases of diabetes along
with cardiovascular diseases fueled by awareness of COVID-19 immune boost make
the demand proposition of apiculture products such as honey immense. CDC
National Diabetes Statistics Report in 2020 predicts that nearly 10.5% of the
entire population, or 34.5 million people are diabetic. Moreover, American
Diabetic Association predicts that nearly 1.5 million new cases of diabetes are
and will be diagnosed each year. Owing to such trends, the market for
apiculture will be positively benefitted.
U.S Apiculture Market Challenge
A Rapid Decrease in the Number Of Managed Bee Colonies/ Hives Hampers Current and Future Estimations of Honey and other Apiculture bi-products:
The number
of colonies/hives within the U.S. apiary(ies) has substantially gone down over the period of
three-four years. Beekeepers across the United States lost 45.5% of their
managed honeybee colonies from April 2020 to April 2021, according to
preliminary results of the 15th annual nationwide survey conducted by the
nonprofit Bee Informed Partnership (BIP) in 2021. Furthermore, beekeepers have
continued to report a loss in the efficacy of market-available solutions. For
example, a product that showed an efficacy of 90% removal of mites, now fails
to provide an efficacy of 10%. Thereby, acting as a critical growth dampener in
the U.S. Moreover, climate change acts as a rudimentary challenge for the
market and extreme chilly conditions may result in loss of yield. Further,
urbanization has eliminated the natural habitat and fauna of bees, such as a reduction
in the number of nectar-bearing flowers. Owing to such reasons, the market
demand will be challenged in the projected period.
