The Economic Importance of Bee Honey Products and their Impact on Sustainable Development

Abstract

The research aimed to highlight the economic importance of honey bee breeding by addressing the multiplicity of its products of economic, nutritional, preventive and therapeutic value, revealing the correlational relationships between the most important variables of its breeding components, identifying models of their development over time, and measuring the differences between traditional and modern apiaries. Accordingly, the research adopted the descriptive and analytical method. The most important results concluded that bee products have a high economic importance, originating from honey with its nutritional, preventive and therapeutic properties, and direct and indirect products. Models of the development of honey bee production also indicate that time has a significant impact on it and that its upward paths indicate the great potential expected for the development of production by mobilizing latent energies that have not been exploited. after. The results of the inferential analysis indicated that there are no significant differences between the estimated costs of establishing modern and traditional bee hives, in terms of expenses and revenues
