Book Description
Four initial level of colony strength: 4 frame (9,800), 6 frame (14,700), 8 frame (19,600) and 10 frame (24,500) adult honeybees per colony were tested for honey production and other colony attributes. The study revealed the exponential increase in honey yield producing 2.82, 1.59 and 1.18 times more honey from initially 10, 8 and 6 frame colonies than 4 frame colonies. The other colony attributes including comb building, brood rearing, syrup honey storage, bee bread storage and foraging activities were also positively correlated with initial colony strength. Another experiment testing three beekeeping packages namely, continuous brood rearing, initially brood-less and package bee colonies, for mite incidence and honey production indicated the delayed mite incidence in later two packages compared to continuous brood rearing colonies yielding 1.25 and 1.21 times more honey per colony, respectively. Training and social mobilization helped to aware beekeeping farmers to adopt modern beekeeping practices thereby improving annual honey yield and gross farm income from beekeeping enterprise.

Book Description
Ethiopian farmers have a variety of livelihood alternatives, including beekeeping. This book chapter discusses the extent to which farmers have adopted modern Hive Beekeeping Technology as well as the factors that influence adoption. Better beehive technology has a significant positive impact on honey output. Farmers are encouraged to adopt or continue using the technology because the return on investment, that is productivity increases, has been realized. Because improved beehive technology adoption has multiplier effects ranging from increased beekeeping productivity to economic growth and poverty reduction, the study,Äôs findings highlight the importance of appropriate policy implementation that promotes the adoption of productivity-enhancing technologies in general and improved beehive technology in particular. As a result, it is recommended that policies be developed to take advantage of the factors influencing farmers,Äô adoption of improved beehive technology. Furthermore, efforts should be made to increase access to improved beehives by introducing substitutes that can be built from locally available materials while lowering production costs, such as chefeka.

Book Description
Agriculture progresses technologically as farmers adopt innovations. Agricultural technology adoption and diffusion patterns often vary from location to location. The national modern beehives contribution to the beekeeping sector is still very low and it only constitutes 0.43% of the total hives (Beyene and David, 2007). This indicate the sector is intensively being under the practice of traditional mode of production which needs big concern to increase and improve the adoption of modern beehives. And in this study, determinant factors that would enhance and constraints for the adoption of modern beehives dealt to contribute for betterment of the sector. How the factors analyzed and dea

Book Description
Beekeeping is ecologically sound, economically viable and socially acceptable enterprise. It is an ideal activity for the socio-economic development of rural people as it involves low input and gives quick and high profit. It holds great promise to raise economic independence and boost social status of rural people. Beekeeping has a special advantage in India, where majority of people are small or marginal land holders or even landless (Shende, 1990). The present study on "Adoption behaviour of beekeepers about honey production technology in Samastipur district" was undertaken to find out the level of knowledge and extent of adoption about honey production technology by adopted and non-adopted beekeepers and know the association of selected psychological and socio-economic variables with the level of knowledge and extent of adoption about honey production technology. Attempts were also made to identify the constraints perceived by the beekeepers in non-adoption of honey production technology.

Book Description
Apiculture is the most important source of household income. This book briefly explains the determinants of improved box hive adoption by the beekeepers; and financial benefits of adopting improved box hive technology. The empirical study rectify that use of credit, Knowledge, educational level of household head, perception and apiary visit were found to be positively and significantly influencing adoption of improved box hive. with respect to financial benefit, the beekeepers financially benefited owing to deciding to adopt improved box hive. The total benefit found from improved box hives exceeds the benefit from traditional hive by more than twice. With reference to comparison made on the perception of relative advantage and disadvantage of improved box hive, it was found that beekeepers have positive perception about improved box hive, which is a good opportunity for beekeeping extension intervention program.

Book Description
This is a practical tool to help beekeepers, veterinarians and beekeeping advisory services to properly identify main honeybee diseases and to take the most appropriate actions in the apiary to control and/or prevent disease outbreaks. This publication follows the TECA publication Main bee diseases: good beekeeping practices (2018) which provided a more general overview of good beekeeping practices for bee diseases. This manual is a unique publication because, through its presentation of practical information, simple visuals, and understandable content, it helps beekeepers to correctly identify main honeybee diseases in a timely manner. More specifically, the manual creatively illustrates actions which facilitate the identification of disease symptoms. It also presents a comprehensive list of good beekeeping practices to adopt in the apiary as well as biosafety measures to reduce the risk of the introduction and the spread of main honeybee diseases. The manual’s overall objective is ultimately to support a more sustainable beekeeping sector.
