Commercial entomology is a specialized field that falls under the broader study of entomology. Despite the longstanding knowledge of insects and their products, there is a scarcity of literature on commercial entomology. The authors of the book chapters have extensive expertise in the biology and management of insects, particularly in their respective areas of focus. Their insights are therefore invaluable for the growth and development of commercial entomology in India. The book chapters emphasize the study of Apis spp., silk worms, lac insects, and other important insects. The book first chapter, authored by Dr. Suday Prasad, covers the management of honey bees. Dr. Hari Chand and Mr. Beer Bahadur Singh second and third chapters provide information on bee product production technology and bee pests, respectively. These chapters provide a comprehensive overview of the various bee hive products, their processing and uses, and their composition, all of which are aimed at promoting beekeeping development. The book also includes chapters on sericulture, lac culture, biological control, insect pests of medical importance, and insect pests of cattle and poultry, among other topics.
