ABSTRACT
The research work was carried out on comparative analysis of modern
beekeeping and traditional beekeeping in Abia State. The study examined
modern and traditional bee-farming in the area as well factors affecting
beekeeping using 80 modern bee farmers and 40 traditional bee farmers.
For the purpose of achieving this, works of other scholars were reviewed
on the topic and study questionnaires were used to collect data which was
collaborated with oral interview. The data gathered from the farmers were
analyzed and interpreted using descriptive analysis, income statement
analysis and Cobb Douglas frontier function. This result shows that
modern beekeeping generates more income than traditional bee farming
despite its production cost. In vestment in beekeeping, especially the use
of modern method, can increase tremendously by providing expanded
access to cheap and flexible credit, which is presently a limiting factory in
beekeeping practices based on findings of this study.
