let's talk about that after the diary terminate- at honey harvesting..Then you can be sure this is for real..

Other versions of honey press

For transporting bees without fears. This can be used to ship bees from Lagos to Maiduguri in a fully occupied vehicles

Here is it's lid

One of my beehives smeared with original honey as bait for swarming colony.

These are Kenyan Top Bar Hives

Nigeria can be an exporter of honey, other bee products and even EXPORTER OF BEES!!

impressive..nice narrative op

impressive..nice narrative op

stay tuned for more gists. Most people make money in beekeeping via products sales and training.. my goal is not training but "bee factory". Its a life commitment or journey. We will modernise this science and craft a name in it..i acknowledge the enterprise is relatively crude but their is a bright side to it..even then, I'm glad you are making some sense out of the narratives

That's good

Drop your number,wana ask you some questions about the business pls

Honey theft..i visited the bee hives yesterday, to my dismay, some unknown persons tried to steal/Rob us of honey, they burnt and damages the beehives, unfortunately for them, the bees haven't started storing honey.. we lost 3 colonies and 3 boxes.

One challenge in siteing a beefarm.

Lesson learnt..we are moving forward. Not when I had made a new purchase of beekeeping accessories worth N200,000!























Factor that into your PLANNING! - "the unexpected".

More beehives will be deployed shortly.. August colonies are honey colonies.

WHO MAY KEEP BEES

"Any person who is cautious, observing and prompt, will succeed in bee-keeping. He must expect to work with full energy through the busy season, and persist though discouragement and misfortune both confront him. I need not mention capital or location, for men of true metal- ...men whose energy of body and mind bespeak success in advance"...Reverend L. L. Langstroth

Thank you for this enlightening article. For a farm on a plot of land can you give advice on keeping bees just for pollination? Thank you

derecho:

don't know. Not a single company brought it for exhibition at the just concluded conference in Abuja.



Stay tuned for the honey harvest soon; most likely December

new revelations in the apiary...the catcher boxes are splendid

Nice writeup, Sir.

My B.Sc project was on honey n I had to visit a honey farm to complete my work. Was my first time even knowing people reared bees, although the methods r crude.

Didn't see most of these equipments u r displaying, d man did everything using the traditional method.

He however lamented about honey retailers buying from him, then mixing t with other things to increase the quantity and sell to unsuspecting individuals. U ever come across such?

The goal is to take it to a higher levels. There exists a higher levels of possibilities with bee-keeping...Most especially with product sales (honey, wax, bee venom, bee colony, pollination services and also training services). I'm aware about the Local demand for bee products in Nigerians such that our local production cannot meet this growing demands and we have import from neighbouring countries. Its that bad. Yet, it is an untapped avenue for wealth creation.

Honey adulteration is a challenge. Determining the adulterated takes extra skills..Reason, I do not market honey sourced from unknown places.. However, we are working with few bee keeping cooperatives and bee-keeping groups across 3 states where we have supplied them bee-keeping kits and training services in the past and so we can keep tab on source, flavour and hygiene.

All the best friend..

@op, thanks for dis thread. Pls i ve a question. How many times do u harvest honey from ur farm in a year and what informs ur harvesting at dat time(s). Thanks

Keep up the good work, Sir

Thank you for sharing this information. Quite interesting. Keep it up. I love this kind of farming, money spinner.
