MIS ICT — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 07:20:07 +0000

This study aims to identify the best hive structure for stingless bees (Tetragonula sp.) using different beehive materials and to assess the productivity, profitability, and quality of stingless bee products such as honey, pollen, and propolis. The study aims to address the lack of published information in this area and evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of stingless bees. The outcomes of the research will be disseminated to farmers/beekeepers, extension agents, and students through farmer's field schools, training, workshops, and various publications.
