| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted to assess honeybee ((Hymenoptera: Apidae) for honey production practices in Jidda Woreda, North showa, Oromia, Ethiopia .Data were collected through semi-structured,interviews,and face to face discussions with the farmer and development agents;by making household and field observations,as well as through market surveys.The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20, The present study found out that of the total beekeepers/105/ interviewed 90 were married,5 were single,3 divorced and 3 windowed respectively.Concerning the type’s beehives was discovered that 83 of the respondents refer traditional to transitional beehives. In the other hand, 12of the respondent showed that preference to transitional beehive, compared to 6 of the respondent who preferred modern bee hives.The present study showed that the time for honey havesting in Jidda Woreda was October to November with October as a peak harvesting mounth for obtaining the largest quantity and quality of honey. They said that the financial and labor inputs of farmers on beekeeping to bring the intended benefits. But this benefit depends up on the season of the year.The present study identified lack of knowledge and skilled manpower of the respondent, as well as lack of proper equipment, and prevalence of pest and predators (29.7%) as major constraints for honey production by small-holder farmer/spide,ant,honey badger,termites,bee eating and beetles. About (43.6%) of the respondents reported that honey production trend in the area decreased and (42.6%),(13.9%) reported increasing and unchanged trend of production system,respectively.we concludes that beekeeping brings substantial changes in the farmer’s socioeconomic conditions by serving as alternative means of income generation. (24.8%), ants (22.8%),honey badger(17.8%)termites(10.9%).bee eating birds (7.9%), others(5.0%)and beetles 4(4,0%) | |
