Abstract
Lombok is a small island in Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB), Indonesia that is popular with its honey product. More and more tourists are interested to come to the island since it has become the popular tourism destination to visit. The increasing numbers of tourists in Lombok make the demand for honey product also has been larger than before, which is sometime difficult for the beekeepers to fulfil the demand. There are some problems make it difficult to conform the demand, such as the beekeepers only rely on their bees production naturally without any effort to develop their bee farm due they do not know how to enlarge the numbers of bees population. The second problem is honeybees cannot produce honey optimally if the colonies in each box are too dense, while most of the beekeepers in Lombok do not know how to devide the colonies in other boxes. And thirdly, the beekeepers really depend on the season, where the bees cannot produce honey any time during a year meanwhile the beekeepers' income only depend on harvesting honey. So, they need another source of income from their bee farm such as from providing colonies for other beekeepers. A development program has been conducted in West Lombok by the University of Mataram team in order to help the beekeepers to enhance the numbers of productive bees through trained and supervised the beekeepers to do bee queens reproduction. There have been some techniques being introduced to reproduce the bee queens such as zigzag cutting of the bee hive and creating bee-queen cell bowls. There are some economic, social and natural advantages of introducing such knowledge and technology to the beekeepers. From economic aspect, the technology will help the beekeepers to diverse their business in the bee farms through not only providing honey but also the colonies. From social aspect, the improving bee farms business will provide employment for other people and to promote the health of local people. Lastly, from the environmental aspect, this program will lead to biodiversity conservation of the honey bees, some tree and other plant species for bee's forages in Lombok Island.
