any brother here have any info on bee-keeping ?

thanks a bunch

HI Danny, me have interest too to do some bee-keeping too. Did some reading and this guy claim that Australian bees has higher productivity and are less aggressive (compared to local Malaysian bees).
I think I can most probably DIY the bees House from designs found in the internet. Do you have any good design? This guy import direct from Australia, wonder how he clear customs & veterinary. The Australian Bee queen is packed in a tube, with some honey and a couple of workers bees and is about AUD$25, being ship via post, marked urgent, honey bees.
Care to share if you find suppliers for bees in Malaysia? Preferably in Sabah. Otherwise I shall have to try attracting wild bees.
As for marketing the honey, not to worry too much as Honey can be kept for a long time, hehe.

My (personal) view on Bee-Keeping, this is a viable project if taken as a supplementary/part time project. I guess it's difficult to go in and just do purely Bee-Keeping, as you'll need a big area with flowering plants to provide nectar. It's a very good supplementary project, as most of the cost are only the set-up cost. Bee-keeping equipments (house, suit, glove, hat, smoking machine, honey extractor) last for a long time. The  bee queen shall only need to be replaced a couple of years (higher production) and you do not need to feed the bees (only on special occasions). Caring is also minimal. Well Good luck to you & me, hehe.
