why do we need beekeeping?
Mr. Khamchi Souvanhthong, office at District of Agriculture and Forest in Khoun District, Xienkhouang province said: In the past, farmers would collect honey from wild bees, they would burn the bees to obtain the honey causing the decline of bee populations. Nowadays, Farmer were taught beekeeping techniques in order to protect and conserve bees,
Through beekeeping, farmers produce on average 700 kg of honey per family annually, earning approximately 35 millions kip. Beekeeping also help conserving biodiversity, the community does not log the forest and there are a lot of flower. Farmers grow more tree and native fruits, flowers and plants.
