production, collection, processing and packing of honey and other hive products.This necessitates that appropriate credit system to be developed. This will havepositive impacts in improving the quality and quantity of honey.• In the survey result the majority of beekeepers are unable to transfer theircolonies, unable to harvest, some are not trained, and 55% box hives are empty.These all indicates the importance of adequate and practical training and strongextension both for beekeepers and development agents. Therefore, establishingand supporting regular training programs to develop experienced and skilledexperts, development agents and farmers in beekeeping management andmarketing should be the major concern.• Efforts should also be geared to alleviate the main constraints that hinderedbeekeeping development in the district. Therefore, there is a great need forattention in providing beekeeping equipments, minimizing of the effect ofchemicals with involvement of regional government by developing strategies, andplanting multipurpose and drought resistant honey bee flora, conservation ofexisting vegetation, integrating beekeeping with agro-forestry and cropproduction is important.Among many issues come across, it is suggested that the following are important areasthat deserve future research and major areas of intervention.• Promote beekeeping sub-sector strategy that would be applicable to differentproduction systems.• The effect of agrochemicals application on honeybees and means of minimizationtheir effect should be addressed.• Further studies shall be under taken for confirming species diversity, structure andcomposition of honey bee flora and poisonous plant to bees.• Honeybee diseases which were elaborated locally by farmers should be confirmedby scientific research• Indigenous knowledge of farmers in beekeeping should be scientifically examined83
