Poultry is the rearing of the birds for their meat and eggs. Some poultry birds are fowl (cock and hen), duck, goose and turkey. It is also called the “white meat” and is taken as a delicacy. Eggs from birds are rich in proteins.

Rearing bees for their honey is called apiculture. Apis is the scientific name of the honeybee. For rearing bees, special wooden boxes are placed in and around orchards. Bees move in and out through the pores in the door and develop a hive inside the box. These boxes are called apiaries.
