Abstract

The purpose of this study was to raise awareness for domesticating stingless bees to generate revenue and promote sustainable species conservation. A farmer's research extension group that consists of 20 beekeepers per district, was directly involved in the project; 30 beekeepers in total took part in the technology's pre-scaling up. Potential representative kebele per district was chosen. Theory-practical training was given to beneficiaries, and bee experts. According to the study, stingless bee colonies yield an average of 2.53 liters of honey annually, ranging from 0.85 to 3 liters. The net income from modern stingless bee practice was US $ 66.831, while the net income from traditional (hunting) practice was US $ 12.875. The study shows that employing modern stingless bees yields a return that is US $ 53.974 higher than honey hunting. Notable advancements have been made in the management of stingless bees, species conservation, and the amount and quality of honey produced.
