" One other important issues, beekeepers are limited in writting record in beekeeping . Recording handbook is extremely important in traceability. " Mr. Tung said.

" To solve the root of the problem of antibiotic residues in honey , Dong Nai beekeepers to create the strong condition in apiary, reasonable moving apiary and writting record in beekeeping." Mr Tung said.

In the process of feeding and harvest , beekeepers should be noted :

1 / Each honey crop need to move in order to maintain strong colonies .

Another problem in VIETGAP is ensuring food safety and hygiene in the apiaries : instruments, cans, drums containing honey, apiaries placement , ...

To create a more vibrant atmosphere , Mr Trong have questions with prizes for beekeepers .

" Why should we feed for bees when apiary move to harvest another honey source? " , " With 7-8 frames in each beeshive is better or  9-10 frames in each beeshive is better in harvest season? Why? "

For the European market : Although , from Vietnam 04/01/2013 Honey is back EU market ( after a long interruption for nearly 10 years ) . However, for export to this market is not simple , the technical barriers are quite strict .

For the US. market: We're influenced by Argentina and Brazil honey. Because Argentina and Brazil honey blocked in European markets ( due to problems GMO) should move to the U.S. market , making abundant supply in the United States . That will affect the price of honey of Vietnam.

" The company will make every effort to get the best price for honey beekeepers in the 2013-2014 " . Mr Trong stressed .
