From small nests of stingless bees in the Bay Nui mountains, Nguyen Trung Thanh from An Giang developed a beekeeping model combined with medicinal herbs. Starting with a few nests, the model now manages about 1000 nests and aims to be available to the local population.

Thanh, raised in Bay Nui, is familiar with native stingless bees that nest in tree hollows and rock crevices. Despite their small size and low honey yield, he saw economic potential. Since 2016, he began breeding and studying these bees, initially with about 10 hives.
