This activity was carried out by interviewing respondents, namely mothers. Interviews were
conducted at the homes of each randomly selected respondent. Respondents were given
several questions regarding their respective opinions on the kelulut bee. Then the respondents

household and the question of how big the role of mothers was in making decisions in their
household.

income for each respondent. The provision of stingless bee packages is carried out
independently and in groups, according to the wishes of the mothers themselves.

mothers as the treatment group and 150 mothers as the control group.
