Solution:

The correct answer is October to December. Concept:A honey bee is a flying insect.It is well known for its ability to produce honey by collecting nectar from flowers. Hence the name honey bee.Explanation:About Honey bees:Honeybees are attracted to flowers. Honey bees live in a beehive, which is commonly used to describe the nest of any bee colony.Honeybees lay their eggs from October to December.Honey bees like to feed on the sugar syrup.Every bee colony consists of three types of bees:Queen Bee: Every beehive has one Queen Bee that lays eggs.Male Bee: There are only a few males in the hive.The male bees have no special role as workers. Worker Bee: Most of the bees in the hive are worker-bees.These bees work all day.They make the hive and also look after the baby bees. They fly around flowers in search of nectar. The worker bees are very important for the hive. Without worker-bees, there would be neither hive nor any nectar collection.When one bee finds flowers with nectar, it does a special kind of dance by which the other bees can know where the nectar is. Honey bees play a very important role in the pollination of flowers like the Litchi, coffee, and cocoa flower.Therefore, the best time to start bee-keeping is October to December.Additional InformationAbout Beekeeping:Beekeeping is the maintenance of bee colonies, commonly in man-made hives, by humans. A beekeeper keeps bees in order to collect their honey and other products that the hive produces.The purpose of beekeeping includes products like beeswax, honey, bee pollen, and royal jelly.Beekeeping is also done for pollination of crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers.A location where bees are kept is called an apiary or "bee yard".An apiarist is a fancy word for a beekeeper.
