Improved Bee Hive for Quality and Hygienic Extraction of Honey
Implementing Organization
Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (IHBT)
Project Overview
Conventional honey production involves series of extraction steps that uses heat and dehumidification assisted with centrifugal extraction process. This involves several manual and semi-automatic steps leading to uncertain quality standards. In addition, traditional methods are time consuming, labour intensive and cause high mortality of honey bees leading to poor honey quality fetching lower market price. This necessitates development of improved bee hive with inbuilt mechanisms for hygienic honey extraction.
