Keep two beehives, get honey for household use: Follow these tips

Honey has a high value and price. Maintaining one or two beehives will provide enough honey for household needs. There are many types of little bees. The common little bees in our region are black.

You can now buy little honeybee colonies with their hives from honeybee farmers. If there is a natural colony in a wall, floor, or elsewhere, you can transfer it to an earthen pot. Honey can be harvested from a small beehive only once a year, usually between January and March. An average of 250 grams of honey can be obtained from one hive.

Small honeybees collect honey from a variety of sources, from small grasses to coconut trees. Therefore, small honey has high medicinal value. Small honeybees do not sting, making honey extraction easy. However, precautions should be taken to prevent bees from entering your ears, nose, etc., while collecting honey. Do not squeeze the honeycombs with your hands.

This can contaminate the honey with bacteria from your hands, causing spoilage. Use a clean spoon or other utensil to extract the honey. It's good to leave the collected honey in the sunlight for a day or two. It's natural for water droplets to mix with the honey collected from plants. Exposing it to sunlight helps remove this moisture. Sunning also helps the honey last longer without spoiling.
