Apiculture (Bee Farming)

This topic introduces learners to the science and practice of beekeeping. Students will explore the value of apiculture, different systems (traditional vs. modern), bee colony biology, and the construction of hives and protective gear. The unit covers the establishment and management of an apiary, including harvesting and processing honey and other hive products. This niche but valuable enterprise aligns with the CBC's emphasis on diversification and value addition. It is examined by ECZ through questions on the life cycle of bees, apiary management, and the economic benefits of bee farming in Zambia.
