| Abstract | ||||
| The aim of this research is to estimate the standard of Honey bee production in Kafr El-Sheikh governorate and to estimate the technological, price and economic efficiency in light of the stability and change of yield to capacity for the production of honey bee in Kafr El-Sheikh governorate in order to determine the optimum situation for optimal utilization of available resources and what must be achieved of productivity under that amount of resources, The use of descriptive and quantitative analysis was based on the statistical and standard analysis methods used in the estimation of simple and multiple regression equations, as well as the use of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate the efficiency of honey production in Kafr El-Sheikh, The research was based on the preliminary data of a Purposive sample. It was located in the center of Kafr El-Sheikh, where it represents the second largest governorate in the governorate of Kafr El-Sheikh. The number of cells was divided into three categories (less than 50 cells), the second category (from50 to less than 100) Third (100 and more). The study showed the results of honey bee production in Kafr El-Sheikh, which showed that parcels and labor are the most important factors affecting the production of honey in the first category, while parcels, sugar and labor are the most important factors affecting the production of honey in the second category, while parcels are the most factors affecting the production Honey in the third category, which indicates that the packages most influential factors on the productivity of honey in the three categories and this is due to the strength of parcels lead to increased productivity of honey bee. The study also showed the technological efficiency indicators for the production of honey in the full efficiency in the first, second and third categories in the center of Kafr El-Sheikh, with the return of about 6, 5 and 4 apes, while the number of inefficient beekeepers was 35, 13 and 11 respectively, And the three groups achieved the same complete efficiency with a change in capacity yield of about 11, while inefficient beekeepers were about 30, 7 and 4 apes respectively. The price efficiency of the fully efficient complexes of the first, second and third class in Kafr El-Sheikh was about 4, 4 and 3, while the number of non-efficient animals was about 37, 14 and 12 respectively. The total economic efficiency of the first, second and third class of Kafr El-Sheikh was 3, 3 and 2, while the number of non-efficient animals was 38, 15 and 13; respectively. This research recommend that: Production resources must be redistributed so that the economic efficiency of honey bee projects can be achieved. The need to work on increasing the local production of honey bee using good breeds of high production, good nutrition for bees, trained technical workers, theuse of drugs to control diseases and insects that infect bees lead to increased production. | ||||
