Complete answer
Pasturage can be defined as the vegetation of plants and the flowers that are available near to the beehives so that the bees can feed on their nectar. It is the availability of flowers from which bees collect the nectar and pollen grains. Thus, it is related to Apiculture and it helps in the production of honey and it helps to determine the taste, quality, and quantity of honey. As the yield of pasturage gets better, the quality of honey also improves. Apiculture is defined as the rearing of honey bees in beehives for the production of honey, beeswax, etc.
Honey is full of nutritional values- It has high levels of monosaccharides, fructose, and glucose, and it has almost 70 to 80 percent sugar which is responsible for its sweet taste. Honey has antiseptic and antibacterial properties as well. Medical science uses honey for chronic wound management and combating infection.
So, the correct answer is Apiculture.
Note: Honey bees play a very significant role in the pollination of other crops like cotton and flax. In addition to the honey produced by them there are also a number of other valuable non-food products, like pollen, queen substance, propolis and beeswax-these products are used in cleaning and making of beauty products.
