“…In a study conducted in Croatia by Barlovic et al (2009), it was determined that one third of the farmers were migratory beekeepers. In a study conducted in India by Sharma et al (2013), it was found that the farmers were carrying 250-300 hives to 300-800 km away. Another study by Adgaba et al (2014) found that 93% of the farmers were migratory beekeepers.…”

This research aims to find out the marketing problems of the beekeepers in Muğla province, Milas district of Turkey and offer potential solutions. The main material of the research is the data gained via surveys, performed as face-to-face interviews with beekeeping farmers in Milas district. According to the data of Milas District Agriculture and Forestry Directorate, 721 beekeepers constitute the main part of the research. The proportional sample size has been determined as 62 people. The most significant problems that farmers face during the production are diseases and pests by 53.2%, while the most significant problem during marketing is the low selling price of honey by 80.6%.

“…Honey is historically the honey bee product that beekeepers are most interested in (Kohsaka Park and Uchiyama 2017; Hearn and Dossche 2016), a finding that our results corroborate. However, we were surprised by the great interest in digital technology and migratory beekeeping, both of which represent relatively recent possibilities to incorporate into the beekeeping business compared to other honey bee products/services (Güler and Demir, 2005;Sharma et al 2013).…”

Beekeeping is a rewarding business that offers numerous opportunities beyond just honey production. While most beekeepers are solely focused on honey production, this approach can be limiting due to the fluctuation of weather and market conditions. Therefore, it is essential to diversify your business by exploring other honey bee products and services. Our research investigated the beekeeping practices of 100 beekeepers from seven regions in southern Brazil to identify the most common practices and potential opportunities for diversification. Our study focused on ten major beekeeping practices, including products or services as honey, queen rearing, swarm, propolis, pollen, beeswax, royal jelly, sanitary control activity, digital technology enthusiasm, and migratory beekeeping. We used a semi-structured questionnaire consisting of 86 questions that were analysed with generalized Procrustes analysis and clustered heatmap. Overall, we found that honey production, digital technology enthusiasm, and migratory beekeeping are the most common beekeeping practices among beekeepers, regionally. Conversely, the exploitation of beeswax, pollen, swarm, and royal jelly production were relatively rare, creating opportunities for beekeepers looking to diversify their earnings and reduce competition. Additionally, our research revealed that certain regions have adopted specific beekeeping practices better than others, which suggests that there are possibilities for improvement and growth in the beekeeping industry. Finally, our research demonstrates the potential for beekeepers to diversify their business beyond just honey production. By exploring other honey bee products and services, beekeepers can reduce the impact of market limitations caused by weather and market fluctuations, ultimately creating a more resilient and profitable business.

“…Now the question is, how can migratory beekeeping influence the Indian beekeeping industry? In India, mobile beekeeping by using Apis mellifera colonies allows the beekeeper to go for 4-5 harvests every year that provide an average annual honey yield of approximately 50-60 kg/hive generating a significant income (Sharma et al, 2013, Kishan Tej et al, 2017. In addition, the strength of the colonies also improved due to migration (Brar et al, 2018).…”
