Abstract

This work was conducted to evaluate seven apicultural practices on honey production with a view to combating effect of climate change in honey production. The work was carried out at the on- station apiary demonstration (Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology, Agroforestry Unit) Okitipupa, Nigeria between August 2021 and March 2023. The on-station apiary layout was carried out on a primary forest within bees’ friendly environment. The treatment combination consists of five different baiting materials, planting of floral along the apiary alley ways, provision of water during the dry season and provision of additional food source. The results showed average pure honey yield (phy top bar 12kg), framed hive pure honey yield (17kg,),
