Honeybee Production Case Study
Business Dictionary defines production as the “processes and methods used to transform tangible inputs (raw materials, semi-finished goods, subassemblies) and intangible inputs (ideas, information, knowledge) into goods or services. Resources are used in this process to create an output that is suitable for use or has exchange value.
Apiary Production The case respondents have itemized the honeybee products they were able to produce, the year of their first production and the problems encountered (Table 17).
Majority (83.33%) of the respondents were able to harvest honeybee products of which, 100% yielded honey from their colonies and 20% were able to harvest nucleus colonies and queen bees. Seventy percent of the beekeepers who were able to yield honeybee product/s harvested during the last quarter of the year (October to December) and no harvest was recorded during the third quarter (July to September). The Philippines is a tropical island. It has only two seasons: the wet and dry seasons. The dry season starts in late November and ends in …show more content…
It is one of the most enjoyable types of business out there. The honeybees extract honey from its natural surroundings and then converts it into something that is consumable. In addition, honeybees help pollinate the vegetables and fruits in one’s area. With honeybee farming, you need to establish the right time to start a colony. You do not want to start it too early because the bees will be unable to find food and keep warm. Starting too late will mean that bees will not have enough time to make honey or they will miss out the first major push of nectar. Production of honey partly depends on the location you’re in and the type of weather. In quite number of situations, a new colony of bees will not produce enough surplus honey during the first year. This means that harvesting may not be possible. Honeybee farming needs a long-term view perspective (Hive and Honey Apiary,
