Abstract
Participatory demonstration and evaluations of improved beekeeping technologies were conducted in Daro labu district of West Hararghe zone with major objectives of demonstrating improved beekeeping technologies & strengthen research-extension-farmers linkage in beekeeping technology generation and transfer. Demonstration and evaluations of box & transitional hive with ant protection, bee management and product processing was conducted by forming farmers research groups(FRGs) at 4 peasant association (PAs) of Daro labu district; from the demonstration an average of 25.16kg semi-extracted,12.6kg and 6kg crude honey per hive/annum was harvested using box, transitional and traditional hives with ant protection respectively and bees wax purification was also demonstrated on farmers field.
