Bee-keeping, a thriving industry
M. Maharuf, Kurunegala South Gr. Cor.
The Wayamba Agriculture Department has taken steps to encourage
farmers to take to bee-keeping due to the high price for bee-honey which
is scarce in the market.
The bee-keeping boxes, bee communities, and technical know-how will
be provided to the farmers. At present bee-keeping has become a
lucrative industry in Mawatagama, Polgahawella, Dambadeniya
Dodamgaslanda, Wariyapola, Hiriyala, Anamaduwa and Navagattegama areas.
In addition to native doctors, the tourist hotels too place orders
for bee honey the agricultural instructor said. |
