Supporting local communities engaged in mangrove beekeeping

Supporting local communities engaged in mangrove beekeeping. HAIPHONG: Utilizing 650 hectares of mangrove forest and Bang La apple orchards, many families in Hai Phong have turned to beekeeping for honey production, earning hundreds of millions of dongs annually.

The coastal protection forest south of Hai Phong, established in the 1990s, spans over 650 hectares and features dominant tree species like Avicennia and Rhizophora. This area not only serves as a "green shield" against erosion and storms but also offers a continuous nectar source for 8 to 9 months each year, creating ideal conditions for beekeeping and natural honey harvesting.
