The group of FE Unpri lecturers who conducted the PKM presented beekeepers who are members of the North Sumatra Regional Beekeeping Association (Apida) as speakers, who on that occasion were represented by the Secretary of Apida North Sumatra, Sutrisno.
Sutrisno explained that beekeeping is the care of honey bee colonies that live in the nest. Beekeepers can collect honey and other products from their nests, such as beeswax, propolis, pollen, and royal jelly.
According to Sutrisno, beekeeping has good prospects, very suitable as a new business to support the family economy. In addition to not requiring a large area of land, according to him, beekeeping is also not too difficult and easy to learn.
Sutrisno explained the steps for beekeeping, including preparing all the equipment, especially the bee house, which is a wooden box. Then choose superior bee seeds, one of which is the most widely cultivated by the community today is Apis Mellifera.
Apis Mellifera is classified as a superior type of bee since 1841 until now. Apis mellifera bees have colonies that last a long time. Apis Mellifera is a superior type of beekeeper. This is because the honey production from this bee is classified as very high, reaching 40 kilograms per year for one colony. Apis Mellifera bees are able to adapt to various types of climates.
Apis Mellifera is a type of bee that requires a lot of food sources. Bee colonies can survive in cold weather. The resistance of bees to disease is also one of its advantages. Apis mellifera bees are productive in producing honey. A number of equipment needed in addition to the bee house is a smoker, to tame aggressive honey bees during the harvest process. Then, prepare personal protective clothing thatthick also equipped with a protective face and head mask Then, prepare a broom, gloves, dividers, and a place to eat in the wooden box of the bee house. We also have to frame the wood as a place for the honeycomb and make sure the queen bee cannot get out of the wooden box.
Then we plant some flowers in the area around the honey bee farming. It functions as a source of food for bees, namely flower nectar. One thing we should not ignore is to avoid crowded places. In addition, make sure the ideal temperature for the bee farm is around 25°C. Form a box bee house like a wooden crate with a width of 25 cm and a length of between 30 cm and 40 cm. Fill the box with several wooden frames. In addition, the bee house box can also be built using teak wood which is known to be sturdy.
According to Sutrisno, we can get bee seeds from experienced bee farmers. Make sure the bee seeds we choose are superior seeds. The bee seeds needed include queen bees, worker bees, and male bees. The obtained seeds are then moved to a wooden box nest or bee house.
After the explanation in the room, Sutrisno then showed directly how to make a bee box/house, how to clean the bee house, how to harvest honey. Even on that occasion, bee therapy was carried out by stinging bees to several lecturers and residents, who often felt headaches, back pain and ankle pain.
Previously, the Director of the Indonesian Plantation Museum Medan, Drs. Sri Hartini MSi welcomed the PKM of FE Unpri lecturers in the form of beekeeping training. He hopes that through this training, the community in the Kampung Baru Medan Maimun Village area will be able to increase additional income to support family economic resilience. (RFED/MBB)
