Honey can be a major source of income in the Solomons

Quoting the Solomon Star newspaper � 26 July 2019

�BEE-KEEPING can be a major source of income for Solomon Islanders.

�That�s according to Dr Yue-Wen Chen, one of Taiwan�s foremost experts in honey-bee, who had been in the country in the last eight days.

�You have some of the best honey-bees here in the world,� Chen said before he flew back to Taiwan yesterday.

�All you need to do is improve and increase your production,� he added.

�Retail price for a 150ml bottle of honey, which used to be $50 some months back, is now between $90 and $100.

�This was largely driven by high demand for the product.�
