Abstract

The study was carried out to examine the factors influencing beekeeping ‘adaptation strategies to climate change in Ondo state, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling technique was used in the selection of respondents. One hundred and twenty (120) respondents were used for the study. Frequency counts, percentage, mean and regression analysis was used in analyzing the data for the study. Primary data for the study were collected with the aid of structured questionnaire coupled with interview schedule, the mean age of the respondents was 55 years. 10.0% of the respondents had no formal education, while majority, 46.7% of the respondents, had tertiary education. The mean annual income was N215, 143. The result of Regression Analysis between socio-economic characteristics of beekeepers and their perception towards adaptation strategies to climatic change at 0.05 level of significance, revealed that Age (X1,) (0. 000), Sex (X2) (0.001), Marital Status (X3) (0.004), Number of Household (X6) (0.002), Method of Farming (X8) (0. 000), Annual Income (X9) (0.000) had significant relationship on their perception towards respondents’ adaptation strategies to climatic change. This suggests that age, sex, marital status, number of household method of farming and annual income could enhance their perception. The study concludes that beekeeping farmers’ adaptation strategies were mostly affected by Inadequate funding, Scarcity of land resources and Negative effect on culture among others. The study recommends that there is an urgent need for government to assist farmers in searching a potential market for honey, so that farmers who involved in honey production are not discouraged by poor marketability of the products.
