AN ECONOMIC STUDY OF HONEY BEE PRODUCTION AND

ITS ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY IN NORTH SINAI
GOVERNORATE
Abo El-Nag, M. A. A. and M. S. Abdelghfar
Agric. Economics Dept., Desert Res. Center, El- Matareya, Cairo, Egypt.

ABSTRACT
This study aims to describe and analyze some economic factors and
problems that affect honey bee in north Sinai governorate, and evaluation of the
profitability of apiary's at all productivity scales. A sample of 74 honey producers,
located in North Sinai governorate, was Surveyed and post-stratified into three scales.
Cash flow was prepared for each scale, and IRR, NPV, B/C Ratio and CPBP were
estimated.

Abo El-Nag, M. A. A. and M. S. Abdelghfar

Major results and conclusions could be summarized as follows: (i) IRR, NPV,
B/C Ratio and Capital turnover are about 31.77%, LE 37.74 thousand, 1.19, 4.52
years. (ii) The main productivity and marketing problems that affect honey bee
producers in north Sinai were: non-availability of good breeds of packages and
