  From January to December 2022 a study was carried out in Cameroon to have a global view of beekeeping practice and the quality of the main product: Honey in relation with technological level. For this purpose, 131 beekeepers were interviewed randomly in the main productive areas of the country and 150 samples analysed. Four physico-chemical variables were studied that is pH, electric conductivity and water content from samples collected at the hive level, at the extraction phase at in the markets. The beekeeping evaluation revealed that the activity is done by young men of 44.73 ± 8.73 years’ average, each beekeepers managing around 36.18 ± 20.23 hives with an annual average production of 14.56 ± 11.68 litres per hive. Physicochemical evaluation revealed that almost quarter of the honey samples do not fit the codex Alimentarius standards. pH values were with.. Read More»
