208- 4possible. Commercial hives operating on the Langsfroth pattern may contain 10 to 13frames.III.MARKET STUDY AND PLANT CAPACITYA. MARKET STUDY1. Past Supply and Present DemandBeehive frame is used for bee keeping in a safe way and with better handling. Currently,the demand for the product is met through domestic production. The Southern Nations andNationalities Region (SNNR) is one of the most know potential areas for bee keeping inthe country. According to the resource potential study, the region has a total of 1,114,303beehives, of which 1,060,512 are traditional, 50,980 are modern and 2,811 areintermediate. The annual honey output of these hives is about 9,384 tons, of which about72% is obtained from traditional hives.On the average, traditional, intermediate and modern hives respectively yield about 5 kg,15 kg and 25 kg of honey annually. This marked difference in output is likely to inducefarmers to replace traditional beehives with modern and improved ones. In determiningthe present demand for beehive frames, following the study of apiculture equipmentconducted for the region, the existing traditional beehives are conservatively assumed to bereplaced with modern ones in the coming 25 years. The present effective demand forbeehive frames is thus estimated at 42,420 pieces per annum (i.e. 4% of the existingtraditional beehives).2.
