The stingless bee industry in Malaysia leverages local "kelulut" bees to produce premium honey and other bee products while addressing ecological conservation and socio-economic empowerment. The industry faces challenges related to honey quality, volume, and bee extinction threats. Through innovative technologies like MUSTAFA Hive, HILDA System, and KEIFh System, and certifications like GMP, HACCP, ISO22000, and Halal, the initiative aims to enhance honey production, support conservation efforts, and generate significant income for local communities.
The stingless bee population is under threat from deforestation, pollution, and environmental changes. Traditional honey production methods yield low-quality honey sold at low prices, limiting the potential market reach and income for beekeepers. This hinders the growth and sustainability of the stingless bee industry, affecting both bee conservation and agricultural pollination.
The project introduces advanced technologies to improve the entire stingless bee honey production and supply chain. Innovations include the MUSTAFA Hive for sustainable colony duplication, the HILDA System for honey dehydration without heating, and the KEIFh System for honey freshness and authenticity screening. These technologies ensure high-quality honey production, supported by comprehensive certifications, enabling export and higher market value.
