1.) Primarily, adequate land area free of human exploitation, such as logging, bush burning, and illegal occupation.

2.) a suitable habitat with enough flowering plants growing there for more preferably provenesses, such as Tetrapleura tetraptera, which flowers profusely in its season, Pentaclethra macrophylla, and many other indigenous species, I am talking about flowering plants that flower all year.In the absence of these native trees, the coconut plant can thrive since it flowers all year.As a result, all of these flowering plants in a well-protected ecosystem will provide a safe haven for bees to thrive. You must secure the property and verify that there are no pollutants in the region.

3.)since bees go to water, you can provide the necessary environment, in fact cultivating domestic animals on that area since the bee's activities would be influenced at the end of the day.Bees love waste, including animal waste such as urine and dung. Many people are unaware that bees enjoy eating rotting materials as well. If you have these and good water bodies, you can artificially create them, and the bees will flock there to drink and thrive.

4.) You will need proper boxes, such as the Langstroth imported bee hive, but you may also do this with native materials such as our earthen pot. You can also contact a carpenter to construct or fabricate boxes similar to the Langstroth imported commercially.

Once you have all of these in place, please ensure that chemical pollution, such as agro-chemicals, insecticides, and other discharges like gas flaring, bush burning, and other things that irritate and drive away bees, are avoided.
