Long Dinh Ha Onh, Vice President of the Pokao Beekeeping Cooperative, shared the local community's journey in developing the Pokao Forest Honey brand, from honey harvesting to active beekeeping. Dung K'No, located in Dam Rong 4 commune, features extensive forested areas, rich vegetation, and an abundance of flowering plants, creating favorable conditions for beekeeping. For years, locals have maintained the tradition of foraging and collecting wild honey according to the seasons. However, this method is dependent on nature and can negatively impact bee populations and the environment if mismanaged. Recognizing this, the community has gradually shifted towards more sustainable beekeeping practices.
