Mr. Bui Van Dao, in Luon village, Thuong Tien commune (Kim Boi) is checking and monitoring honey bees.

Mr. Bui Van Dao's family is the first household in Luon village to raise bees for honey. At first, he raised only for family use or sold 1-2 bottles of honey. Recognizing the economic efficiency in line with his conditions, he developed strong beekeeping work. Currently, he has 300 herds of bees, each with 4 to 5 bee honey exploitation panels, in addition, he also sells bee breed. "In the season of longan flowering, I move the bees to the areas of various longan trees. I also placed more than 10 beehives on a forested area handed over for 50 years for bees to get the natural forestry honey. Every year, I turn to get honey in 8 to 10 times, each time with 300-400 liters, depending on the time. At the price of 160,000 VND / liter, in 2018, I earned nearly 200 million VND "- Mr. Dao shared.

In recent years, the beekeeping career has developed and expanded to some other villages. Ms. Bui Thi Ha's family in Vang village started to raise bees from late 2017 with 30 herds. Despite new raise, she can get the economic efficiency. She said that she had turned for honey 6 times, about 15 liters each. Raised bees are indigenous bees, clean honey, because if plant protection drugs are used, bees will die or fly away.

Recognizing the advantages in honey bee farming, some projects implemented in the commune have helped local people develop beekeeping career. Ms. Dinh Thi Huong, Chairwoman of the Commune Women's Union, said that from 2017, the Childfund project provided 15 households to get free- interest loans with a total amount of VND70 million (five million dongs each) in the period of five years for bee growing. Just over one year, the loaned households have grown to 105 more honey bee herds.

In the whole Thuong Tien commune, there are more than 20 households raising bees with over 1,000 herds. Promoting the advantages of being located in Thuong Tien Nature Reserve Zone, the commune has the potential to develop bee keeping business with clean quality honey.
