Five municipalities of Cavite were selected as research areas of the study. These were Alfonso, Indang, Mendez, Silang, and Tagaytay City. There were twelve respondents in this study. The average age of the beekeepers was 40.92years. Majority of the raisers were able to reach the college level. The mean year of the experience in farming was 3.29 years. The average size of the farm was 205.42 sqm. Using the Chi-square test in analizing the data gathered.
