Just asking if anyone has any up to date information of beekeeping in the Philippines?
Would it be viable hobby that not only puts some honey on the table but also makes a little money to help cover costs?
Any special licence needed?
What I tried to say earlier was that it might be better to give book keeping a miss in the RP as you seem far too honest..
I hire a bookeeper here and she has many friends in the BIR..
Thats the kind of bookeeper that seems to do well here..If you know what I mean!
Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping
Im confused
Are we talking about book keeping to get some money
or bee keeping to get some honey?
There's a clue in the thread title
Do you have some info?
i thought it was a very good question, beekeeping and i was looking forward to the answers, i shall buzz off and come back later
A friend here had a go at beekeeping about 15 years ago. He did a lot of research and leased a small lot about 2kms from his house in Cavite.

6 months later a typhoon wrecked the project and he lost his bees. He gave up the idea,
There are a few honey bee farms in the area,some have open days to cater for school field trips

Interesting link that.
Thanks
Yes, it strikes me that ones business in the Philippines needs to be typhoon, earthquake, volcanic eruption proof and floodproof....
I don't see why bee hives can't be made typhoon-proof.
Have a look in London Zoo.
Theirs are indoors, with a tunnel to the outside.
I made quite a good living breeding small livestock and cage birds.
I had a LOT of them though, and it was a full-time job.
Any project like that needs to be securely enclosed and next to your residence. (Main reason I ruled out a fish farm....which would have suited me too. Ok for the locals, but not recommended for expats....like so many businesses there).
Thanks for your thoughts Graham.I don't see why bee hives can't be made typhoon-proof.

I would agree. One would need to "fortify" appropriately over more normal circumstances. They suspend drilling operations in the South China Seas so I imagine it might affect beekeeping.I don't see why bee hives can't be made typhoon-proof.

Making cages....with my assistant.
Budgies (called 'Lovebirds' in the Phils)
Java Sparrows:
Zebra Fiches:
More Budgies:
I had 200 breeding pairs of birds in several aviaries and bird houses, all of which I constructed myself.
Then there were the Tropical Fish, Guinea Pigs, Rabbits and Hamsters.

Guinea Pigs (Cavies...to give them the proper name):
.
I used to supply many pet shops in Manila and other cities.
That was the main purpose of my business. I'd previously owned a large pet/aquatics store in England before of course.
Nice to see.....and I see the connection now as you mentioned working in a pet shop earlier in your life.Guinea Pigs (Cavies...to give them the proper name):

Probably quite nice with rice in an adobo sauce.....
That is one buisness me & my wife would like to start is the pet shop trade when we move to the phils in the distant future.... I don't know what the rules & regulations are regarding this

@ Lastlid...
Maybe that's where some of them ended up.. Bit dear though.
I have been breeding all sorts of animals since 8 years of age.
Yes, my first job from school (16-18) was assistant manager at a very large pet store/corn merchants, after having worked there on Saturdays....then on to the Ministry of Agriculture, then to Spillers foods as a representative. I also was a weekend Zoo Keeper. at the age of 17/18.

Neither do I, and I didn't want to get involved with such things either (probably specially made-up for foreignersThat is one buisness me & my wife would like to start is the pet shop trade when we move to the phils in the distant future....

That's why I always kept a low profile and operated my business from behind 8 foot high walls and gates, with CCTV.
I did nearly buy a vacant tropical fish shop though, but thought better of it.
Could you not simply register the business in your wife's name....to avoid getting caught up with those special rules for foreigners?Neither do I, and I didn't want to get involved with such things either (probably specially made-up for foreigners
Still dodgy IMO , and just not needed in our case.
There is a famous bee farm in Tagaytay. You can read their story here
Yes, see the story above
Thankyou Daks for your reply
Thanks the link, it's the same one tanga suggested , that must be quite a famous bee farm.
