Apiaries that are difficult to access

The mobile honey houses are an innovative concept used by our company to access the apiaries that are difficult to access in the different regions of Madagascar. They are all-terrain trucks fitted out as honey houses allowing the harvest directly on the spot, protected from dust and humidity, according to the good modern beekeeping practices.

These units are equipped with professional harvesting equipment, such as electric honey extractors, drying tanks, a filtration tank, centrifuges, honey filters and a low-temperature storage compartment to keep the raw honey until it reaches the honey house. They are also equipped with generators to power the machines and water tanks for washing the equipment.

This allows Ilanga Nature's beekeepers to access apiaries in hard-to-reach areas - such as tropical forests or mountains - where bees harvest rare, high-quality nectar. This allows beekeepers to harvest the highest quality honey and maximize yields while reducing transportation and labor costs.

Our school also uses them to train local beekeepers. Trainers can go directly to the apiaries to demonstrate honey harvesting and processing techniques, and participants can immediately put the skills they have learned into practice.
These extraction/harvesting units are approved by the Ministry of Livestock for export to the European Union.
