The value of beekeeping is on the rise as it not only produces honey and other economically valuable products but also aids in biodiversity conservation and enhances crop yields. However, beekeepers face numerous national and international challenges to fully realize this potential. In Hung Yen province, residents maintain bees in their longan orchards for honey production. Mr. Phu noted that beekeeping is a highly valuable economic activity with low investment costs, quick returns, and minimal land requirements, playing a crucial role in natural pollination to boost harvests. Currently, approximately 5,700 hectares in Hung Yen are planted with longan trees, providing favorable conditions for beekeeping and generating jobs and income for many.
