We started raising bees of 6 colonies in 1998. By year
2000, we expanded to over 200 colonies migrating every
three months to different inland towns of Bohol and of-
ficially called the business Bohol Bee Farm.
As pandemic hit, we stopped the bee farming since we
have no access to order quality queen for the hives. For
now, we get our supply of limited honey from other bee-
keepers and local honey hunters.
We diversified the business to food production like Ice
Cream making using coconut milk, Cassava processing
for chips and lumpia wrapper and other local delicacies
using our own resources which is sustainable.
Bohol Bee Farm started with just 4 workers year 2000 and
pre-pandemic there were 568 employees and 70% are
women.
