4.2.14 Colony marketing and labor sourcesHoneybee colony marketing is becoming known practice in Bure district of Amhara region inwhich colonies are carried to market when a beekeeper household decides to sell his/her owncolony for cash income. Due to its recently emerging exercise, only a small portion of therespondents (14.4%) had the experience of selling honeybee colonies. The price of one beecolony ranged from 75.00 to 160.00 ETB with an average of 117.50 (ETB). According to therespondents, the selling price of one bee colony is drastically increasing from time to time. Thisfact may be attributed to decrease in trend of honeybee colonies (due to environmentaldegradation, intensification of agriculture, poisoning of honeybees) and increased attention to thebeekeeping sub-sector by the government by involving non-beekeepers through improvedbeekeeping practices.Understanding about the current demand and price of bee colony, one can note that rearing andselling honeybee colony can be an opportunity and sole means of livelihood earnings. Therefore,it is one of the intervention areas to enable and make specialize some of the elite beekeepers atdifferent places of the district to embark on such rewarding venture.Figure 4: Beehive and colony marketing in Bure district58
