“…The more contacts a beekeeper has with extension services and the more beekeeping training they receive, the more economically efficient the beekeeper becomes. This finding is in line with that of Olohungbebe and Daniel (2015) who noted that adequate training on the rudiments of beekeeping determined the improvement of resource use efficiency for honey production in Nigeria. The training and extension services the beekeepers receive tends to strengthen beekeepers' technical know-how thereby improving their beekeeping performance.…”

This study applied the stochastic profit frontier model to estimate the economic efficiency of smallscale beekeepers in the Tabora and Katavi regions of Tanzania. The results show that the profit of small-scale beekeepers is determined by changes in the cost of labor and materials such as wire and color paint for beehives. Reducing the cost of these can significantly increase profits in beekeeping production. Small-scale beekeepers were found to be economically efficient, with a mean efficiency of 92%. This implies that there is room for improvement by about 8% without changing the profit frontier. Contacts and follow-up by beekeeping extension officers and access to beekeeping training on improved management practices were the main factors that had a significant influence on the economic efficiency of small-scale beekeepers. Thus, the regular and timely provision of extension services and beekeeping training among beekeepers can improve their practices.ARTICLE HISTORY

“…The proportion of MVP to MFC of the expenses on baiting materials was positive and smaller than one indicating the overuse of this resource. Here, labour used in honey production have a positive and significant relationship with the productivity which was also supported by Shrestha (2017) as well as (Dhakal et al, 2017) but Ahmad et al (2015) reported it as negative and insignificant. Migration cost had a positive and significant effect on productivity, which is supported by Paudel (2003), Dhakal et al (2017) as well as Shrestha (2017).…”

A general survey was accomplished among beekeepers in 2019 to investigate the determinants and resource use efficiency of honey production at Chitwan, Nepal. The information was primarily collected through 60 Apis mellifera beekeepers registered in bee zone, Chitwan. They were selected for interview by simple random sampling technique. Interview using semi-structured questionnaire schedule was carried out for primary data. Cobb Douglas production function, multiple regression, and paired t-test were used for the analysis of collected data. Multiple regression model revealed that family labor (p=0.68), age(p=0.007), family size (p=0.001), experience (p=0.007), harvesting (p=0.000) and maintenance of flowering plants (p=0.057) have significant effect on honeybee productivity. Labour cost and migration cost had positive coefficient and significant relation at 1% level of significance with gross return whereas expenses on baiting materials had positive coefficient and significant relation at 5% level of significance with the gross return. Thirty-six percentage of total visit for foraging of honeybees was contributed by East Chitwan. The overall productivity of honey in 2019 AD (24.06 kg/hive) was found to be 29% lower than that of 2018 AD. Labour cost and migration cost were underutilized and are required for increment by 3.51% and 71.16% respectively regarding revenue maximization and cost on sugar, drug and comb foundation was over-utilized and needed to be reduced by 30.65%. The efficient use of inputs could make it a profitable and viable commercial enterprise.

Ekolojik dengeye sağladığı katkının yanı sıra kırsal alanda alternatif gelir kaynağı olması arıcılığın önemini artırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'deki illerin arıcılık faaliyetindeki etkinliklerinin belirlenmesidir. Çalışmanın ana materyalini 81 ildeki bal ve bal mumu üretimi, arıcılık faaliyeti yapan işletme sayısı ve kovan sayısı verileri oluşturmaktadır. İllerin arıcılık faaliyetindeki etkinliklerini belirlemek amacıyla veri zarflama analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Analizde girdi değişkenleri olarak arıcılık faaliyeti yapan işletme sayısı ve kovan sayısı değerlendirilmiştir. Çıktı değişkenleri ise ilk modelde bal üretimi iken, ikinci modelde bal ve bal mumu üretimi olarak belirlenmiştir. Ordu ili her iki modelde de tam etkinliğe sahip olan iller arasında yer almaktadır. Toplam etkinlik değerleri birinci ve ikinci modelde sırasıyla 0,19 ve 0,30 olarak hesaplanmış olup, bu değerler Türkiye'de arıcılıktaki etkinliğin düşük olduğunu göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte işletme ölçeği büyük ve bal verimi yüksek illerde etkinlik değerinin yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Bu nedenle, arıcılıkta üreticilerin kovan sayılarını artırmalarına yönelik teşvik edici politikaların yürütülmesi önem arz etmektedir.
