Implementación de un sistema de producción apícola, como estrategia de BIO emprendimiento en el cantón Loja

Abstract

Abstract: Apicullture production is of a big interest at the local, national and global level and along with it goes, the production of melliferous plants, which due to their flowers, colors, smells and textures arouse great interest in apicullture for food. The present research seeks the production of honey based on the implementation of several melliferous species. For that, in the Loja Canton (Zamora Huayco), the species of sunflower, lavender, basil, coffee, borage, coriander, chamomile and buttercup were implemented, in addition to 5 nuclei or beehives, to evaluate the adaptation and production of the bees to these areas. The results indicate that the sunflower, lavender, basil, coffee, coriander, chamomile and borage species adapt very well to the area and are highly preferred by bees, while melliferous species such as the buttercup showed less adaptation. to the area, but they are suitable for bees. Regarding the honey yield, 6.30 kg was achieved in its initial harvest, obtaining a B / C of 0.10 in the first production.
