Abstract

The Indonesian beekeeping industry, grappling with diverse bee species, focuses on the sustainability of operations, particularly with the introduction of Apis mellifera during the early stages of the pandemic. This study explores post-pandemic Apis mellifera honey production in Indonesia, analyzing its impact on prices and business sustainability. Surveys and interviews were conducted with beekeepers in Java and Sumatra, primary islands with significant A. mellifera activities, along with data collection from other regions from January 2022 to October/November 2023. Monthly observations centered on honey production and prices for industrial purposes. The study uncovered two beekeeping systems: migratory in Java and stationery in Sumatra. Carpa honey from Accacia crassicarpa plantation emerged as a suitable industrial honey, displaying sustainable production, seasonality, and a large carpa area as bee forages, contributing to colony growth. Conversely, four Java honey types showed lower productivity, indicating a potential absence of honey seasons. Carpa honey prices ranged from IDR 25,200 to IDR 31,000 per kg, influenced by market size, production, competition, productivity, costs, and producer-consumer interactions. Despite a pandemic-induced surge in the honey market, sustaining high productivity and increasing colony numbers are crucial for long-term honey production sustainability.

Abstract

Apis mellifera beekeeping in Sumatra has seen significant growth over the past decade, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, driven by high market demand for honey. Beekeeping activities are concentrated in Riau and Jambi provinces, where beekeepers primarily utilize extrafloral nectar from Acacia crassicarpa plantation forests. This study evaluates the current state of A. mellifera beekeeping in these regions, focusing on beekeeper proficiency and colony productivity. Data were collected through a survey of 42 beekeepers, addressing their characteristics, efforts to improve skills, perceptions of challenges, and colony productivity in 2024. The findings indicate that most beekeepers are young males aged 30–50 with secondary school education, managing between 100 and 500 hives despite limited knowledge. They primarily rely on self-directed learning and peer knowledge-sharing. Most beekeepers rated their apiaries as satisfactory but recognized their need for guidance to enhance productivity, ensure sustainability, and improve market access. In 2024, honey production averaged 25 kg per colony per year, or 2.1 kg per month, with Jambi slightly outperforming Riau (2.25 vs. 2.0 kg/colony/month). Honey prices averaged IDR 22,000/kg, with Riau prices higher (IDR 25,500-26,000/kg) than Jambi (IDR 19,800-20,300/kg). Sumatra is estimated to host around 250,000 A. mellifera colonies, contributing 92% to national honey output, compared to Java's 46,000 colonies and 8% of production.
