THE APIARY
With a friend’s invitation, Luke started it as a hobby. After
attending a 5-day seminar on beekeeping, Luke put up 4 colonies of
bees in our backyard in 2001. Everybody in the house has experienced
bee sting (at least once), not that the bees are sting joy-toting
insects but because we accidentally stepped or lied on them as they
came visiting inside our house. Bees as any other insects are
attracted to lights at night. The first harvest gave out 100 kilos
of honey, very encouraging for a beginner. With more diligence and
technical know-how, the production increased as per colony and more
colonies were set up. We have now several colonies set up in
Muntinlupa, San Pedro, Laguna and in Batangas. Most of the honeys
are being used to make honey wine. |
