Several NGOs, cooperative societies, state agricultural universities etc are promoting beekeeping as an agrobased enterprise in the state. The study was conducted to know the entrepreneurial potential of beekeepers. This article describes the scale that was developed to measure the entrepreneurial potential of beekeepers.
