My interest in bee keeping is right up there but my challenge is that the farm space is in my village (family farm) which is 2.5 hours from Ilorin, and am based in Lagos.

I hardly go to the village.... How person wan take do am bayii?

It is very possible Sir.
Beekeeping does not require your attention all the time .


After your farm setup and your hives have been colonized.
You can only go for observation once in a month or you might not really need to go also.


Just make sure your hives are in a Secure and favorable environment for the bees Sir.

You can reach out Sir
If you want to start, I can guide you stress free.

Thanks

To get to the point of exporting to Europe and Asia then an investment of around 2million dollars is needed.

I'm not doubting God Sir

$2 million dollars ?
Baba God , please start with $10 million dollars

Amen!

What do you mean by brood honey, and why did you toss it?

Brood means that the comb was not ready to be harvested.
It was yet to be pure honey.
And Brood has no really good use per sé that was why I tossed it Sir

Hello , I'm HoneyMan_Ng

Last week I received a call from a client about some bees disturbing his farmers on the farmland located in Oyo State.
The bees were habitated in a tall tree on the farm and the locals were scared of approaching the tree or the bushy Area close to it as the bees were very aggressive ( There were an active colony )

I and my colleague took off from the city of Ibadan( We travel nationwide) to Okaka .
Okaka is a town in Oyo state, it's an hour drive from Oyo State border town Saki.

We took an approximate of 3 hours and 30 minutes on the road from Ibadan

We got there late in the evening but couldn't do anything meaningful, Our Client covered our hotel expenses for the night.

By 6:15am the following morning, we were out of the hotel and on our way to the farm, it took us another 30 minutes to get to the farm inside the same Okaka town ( Oyo state is really big ) undecided

On getting to the farm, we wore our Complete uniform from the BeeSuit, Hand Gloves and Rubber boots and made sure there was no openings in any of our clothings

When we got to the bush and approached the tree where the Bee Colony was located for inspection.

We realised that our BeeSmoker was not going to be of help as the tree was quite tall and we'd also need support ( like a ladder or table for height to stand on ) and we'd need to setup some small fire at the base of the tree to calm the bees and so we could have a better view of the colony and see if we could harvest any honey before migrating the bees to a new location ( we came with two beehives bought by our client )

We had to get a spoilt car tyre,A litre of fuel ,Some junks to light fire all from the locals.
We were also able to get a table from them to give us height so I could get to the hive comfortably.


Our plan worked as the fire Gave enough smoke to calm the bees and made them less aggressive .

We were able to start harvesting but unfortunately all we got there was Brood so we had to dispose it.

After harvesting, the next thing was to migrate them to the beehives we brought.
We already baited the Beehives heavily with Beewax and some pure honey ( we baited aggressively ) before entering the bush.

We prepared Honey Syrup ( mixture of water and honey 30:70) In a bottle so as to spray on the Bees when they were calm so as to reduce their flight ( the syrup will make them wet so they won't be able to fly very well )

I won't go to in-depth with the migration ( Bees sting us gan ) sad

We were able to successfully migrate the bees but alot of them were still on the tree and didn't follow the Queen bee we captured to the new hive ( they would migrate eventually after some hours or days )

Since the farm was needed urgently, we told the locals to light up some fire at the bottom of the tree later at night.


The second beehive we brought was also baited and placed in a strategic location on the farmland.

All the process took around 4 hours or so
Normally it shouldn't take up to 30 minutes to 1 hour but we had issues initially to set up smoke and getting height to access the tall tree.

In all, we ended well

We left the farm and treated ourselves to some Nice food in a canteen in Okaka town and then we left for Ibadan.

Thanks

This isn't dick measurement or anything of such. It is just the truth. Trying to let you know how big Oyo state is. It is actually one of the biggest states in Nigeria. It's state capital alone,Ibadan is bigger than most states not to talk about the other regions.

Oyo state currently has about 5zones.

Ibadan

Oke Ogun

Ogbomsho

Oyo

And Ibarapa.

All these zones are far bigger than the whole of the SE combined.

Oyo state is not bigger than 5 SE states. Fact!

If you say otherwise, prove it
