Abstract:
Apiculture, or beekeeping, is a promising field of agriculture that has the potential to contribute significantly to environmental conservation and economic development. Honey bees, as excellent pollinators and producers of honey, beeswax, bee venom, and polishing agents (propolis), are in high demand both nationally and internationally. Apiculture has the potential to open up new opportunities for existing and new apiculture-related businesses. Beekeeping is an agricultural sector with rural development activities such as the production of honey and hive commodities, as well as the preservation of ecological balance.
