ABSTRACT
Sustainable increase in honeybee production and productivities is sine qua non to bridge honey products gaps in Nigeria and a path to self-sufficient in food production and conservation of ecosystem through honeybee pollination service. The study was undertaken to assess the profitability of improved apiculture among bee farmers in Abuja, Nigeria. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 140 bee farmers from three area councils of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja namely, Abaji, Bwari and Kwaliin. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Farm budgeting techniques and t-test inferential statistic. Results revealed that all bee farmers were male and between the age range of 30-39 years with a mean of 37. The average household size was 6. About 63% of the bee farmers had a secondary education, indicating that they are largely literates. The estimated net farm income of beekeeping per hive of 0.7m2 was N27, 514.56 and the returns to naira invested of 1.65. The calculated t value of 6.34 was greater than the t critical one-tail (1.65) and the t critical two-tail (1.96). About 35% of the beekeeping farmers had an annual income of ₦300, 000– 399,999 from their beekeeping enterprise with a mean of ₦309,671.43. The constraints were ranked from most critical. Bee farmers should be trained by extension agents on modern beekeeping to adopt technology capable of improving the life of bee households, and sustain bee resources for future generation. Beekeeping farmers should also leverage beekeeping association as an avenue to access finance, inputs, technical information and market.
