Mr. Nguyen Luong Thuy's family, Van Tien hamlet, Dan Ha commune (Ky Son)
raised over 200 flocks of bees, getting an income of over 200 million VND a
year.
In recent years, beekeeping has gradually become a profession in Dan Ha
commune. With the advantage of a forest area of nearly 200 hectares in the
commune which is convenient for beekeeping development, the commune has rich
beekeepers. The household raising most bees is Mr. Tran Van Thien's household.
His family raises 800 flocks of bees.
Mr. Thuy said "I have noticed that beekeepers in the region are lacking 3
basic things. They are the investment capital, the experience and the market to
consume bee products. When the flocks of bees are full, it is necessary to be
separated, and the beekeepers need to cooperate and link together to build a
strong brand for the products, not only for the domestic consumption but also
for export.
To find the answer to "need and enough" question for the
beekeepers, he has met the most experienced beekeepers to discuss and look for
the direction for beekeeping. When the idea of establishing a bee-keeping
cooperative was supported, he continued to go to some beekeepers in the area to
mobilize people to join the beekeeping cooperative. Basing on this, in July 2018, Van Tien
beekeeping cooperative was established with 11 members. The cooperative has a
total of over 1,000 flocks of honey bees.
Mr. Nguyen Manh Sau, the chairman of Dan Ha Commune People's Committee says
that raising bees for honey is not a new job in Dan Ha. Previously, beekeepers
in the commune were mainly in small forms and the products were to serve the
family's needs only. Recognizing the effectiveness of beekeeping model, many
households have actively learned and implemented the model because it brings the
economic benefits and creates jobs at leisure time. There have been 1,680
flocks of bees for honey. It is estimated to collect about 15 tons of honey a
year, bringing the income of more than 2 billion VND.
