QUOTE(Tomokitsu @ May 13 2017, 01:30 AM) Hi guys! Recently get to know and visit (not farm just a mini-farm beside my friend's house with 20+ trunks of bees in it) Friend stating this species named Stingless Bee it won't sting people and usually seek for the bee with red dot/lining is better in quality for the honey I don't seem to be able to find any resources related to it anyone here have experience with it? How is the market for this? i believe they are called kelulut. quite easy to keep and maintain as long as you have lots of flowers in your surrounding. |

QUOTE(whyseej00 @ Jul 15 2017, 12:59 PM) My 2 cents: - have a proper business plan first - know your budget - know who to sell to and how much - calculate overall cost, both capex and opex - calculate your ROI - find good location/partner - talk with other tilapia breeders to have a feel of the market and species thank you. still in the process of planning, planning to invest around 20k (10k each) together with my partner, as i have my own land and have a few ready ponds but im planning to start out with 1 which is slightly bigger than a football field, depth will be around 2-3 feet, will be using netting but im worried about hydrogen sulfate, talked to 1 of the behn meyer supplier and was told to drain all the water (which i think will be kinda difficult with the amount of water inside and also im abit worry that might take a long time to fill up again, previously it took 3 months for the underground water to fill the whole pond up) and dig many 30cm holes and insert the chemical to avoid the gas for leeching |

QUOTE(whyseej00 @ Jul 15 2017, 08:56 PM) My 2 cents again: 1. I will source for other water sources and do canal 2. I wont choose such a big pond, harder to handle 3. I will line my pond in hdpe 4. I will get an expert in tilapia farming and come visit and see viability 5. If I'm looking for POC, I will partition the pond into small size and put in medium stocking density to see whether fish can survive and grow or not Very dangerous if you are not sure whether fish can grow or even fish can't be eaten without high trace elements due to unknown and unverified water sources Just my 2 cents Thank you so much for the advice. Really appreciate it. also if i were to line my pond with hdpe meaning i will have to drain all the water and i can no longer rely on the underground water?
