Most of the bee cultivated is local bee namely Tetragonula Laevicep and Tetragonula Itama. The Tetragonula Itama has a higher yield of honeybee than Tetragonula Laevicep but the price of the colony the Tetragonula Itama is more expensive. All members in that group still cultivate the local bee with the conventional method with less adoption of technology, skill, knowledge and there is no mentoring and training from the government and stakeholders. This method due to the production and quality of the honeybee is still lowered especially the color and taste inconsistency.
