208-8V. TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERINGA. TECHNOLOGY1. Production ProcessSeasoned wood/Timber is cut into sizes to produce the different components of thebeehives. The width of the wood must be exactly 32mm. The tropical honeybee builds acomb which has a thickness of 25mm. The comb is usually attached to the center of thetop-bar. A space of 3.5mm is, thus, left at either side of the comb. When two or more topbarsfixed with combs are placed side by side, the inner space becomes 7 mm. This space,vital to the bees, is usually called as the “bee space”. These bee spaces are also foundbetween the combs and the hive body. They serve the bees as path in which they can movefreely, such intricate construction demands relatively good quality wood and expertise incarpentry.2.

Land, Building and Civil worksThe plant requires a total of 1000m 2 area of land out of which 500 m 2 is built-up areawhich includes manufacturing area, raw material stock area, offices etc. Assumingconstruction rate of Birr 1500 per m 2 , the total cost of construction is estimated to be Birr1.5 million. The total cost, for a period of 80 years with cost of Birr 1 per m 2 , is estimatedat Birr 1000. The total investment cost for land, building and civil works is estimated atBirr 1,501,000.3. Proposed LocationAccording to the resource potential study of the region, the raw material is identified inWoredas like Masha and Konta special woreda. Based on the availability of raw materialinfrastructure, utility and market out let Masha town of Masha woreda is selected andrecommended to be the location of the envisaged plant.
