climate condition of the area and the different honey production systems. Beekeepers of Buredistrict construct their traditional hives from different locally available plant species with localname Hareg (Solaneco angelatus), Bambo, Shemel (Oxytenathera abyssinica) and Shenbeko(Arundinaria alpine) (Fig 2).Figure 1: Traditional hive placement, catching swarm practice and local hive construction42
4.2.1.2 Top bar hive beekeepingAccording to the survey result, the number of top bar hives owned/house hold has a mean of 0.17hives which is very low and needs Bure district Agricultural office to increase the utilization oftop bar hive since it is a bridge to modern hive technology. The productivity from one top barhives has a mean of 10.66kg/hive ranging from 7kg to 18kg/hive which is harvested 1 to 2 timesper year.In the region, Bureau of Agriculture, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and ResearchCenters introduced top-bar hives since the last decade mostly for demonstration purposes. It hasbeen reported that the intervention of SOS Sahel, Agri. Service Ethiopia as well as Honeyproducers, collectors and marketing cooperatives have created a new market opportunity and fasttransfer of knowledge on improved beekeeping in general and transitional beekeeping inparticular. With practical training, beekeeper farmers are encouraged to construct the hives fromlocally available materials. Locally, top bar hives, in most cases, are made from ‘kerkeha’(Arundinaria alpine) and ‘shembeko’ (Arundo donax), eucalyptus species, and so forth. Thenthe hives are plastered with fresh cow dung and fumigated with smoking materials. Somebeekeepers construct their movable comb hives from lumber and others from mud, which is amixture of clay, cow dung and ash. Then the top-bars’ grooves or edges are smeared with moltenwax to guide the bees. The only problem for constructing top bar hives by beekeepers is theinability of keeping the specific size of top-bars, which require precise width measurement (32mm). It is recommended to use a bamboo top bar which is easy to maintain the dimension.Figure 2: Top bar hive type and its placement43
