Abstract


This community service activity aimed to assist beekeepers in increasing galo-galo honey production in Bukik Kanduang Village, X Koto Diatas Subdistrict, Solok Regency, West Sumatra, through supplementary feed innovation. Limited natural nectar sources during floral scarcity periods have reduced honey production and colony stability. The program was implemented through lectures, demonstrations, and collaborative practices to introduce the use of sugar syrup and bee feed as supplementary feed. Training on beekeeping management was also provided to support sustainable honey production. The supplementary feed was placed inside the hive to ensure continuous food availability. The activity improved community knowledge and skills in honey bee management and contributed to increased colony activity and honey production. This program supports the sustainability of community-based beekeeping and local economic improvement.
