This study was conducted in Guangua woreda around Ellala forest, in Awi zone, Amhara National Regional State to characterize the beekeeping systems, to identify bee flora diversity, to know flowering period of bee floras and to determine honey quality in Guangua woreda around Ellala forest. Data were collected from 140 beekeepers having honeybee colonies and living in three different agro-ecologies. The study had two parts: part one was data collection among beekeepers with a semi-structured questioner by single- visit-multiple-subject formal survey method. Part two of study was the determination of honey quality and pollen analysis produced in the study area. All the collected data was analyzed by using SPSS v-26 Duncan's and one-way ANOVA method. From the total 140 sample beekeepers 90.7 % of them were male headed households and 9.3% were female headed households, 95.0 % of them are married, 2.9% of them were widowed and the rest 2.1% were divorced. Majority of the respondents (about 65.7%) were in the age range from 36 to 50 years and they owned a total 1956, 87 and 213 traditional, transitional and frame hived honeybee colonies respectively. The study result indicates that based on their level of technological advancement, three distinct types of beekeeping practices were used by the sample beekeepers in the area. These are traditional hive, transitional hive and moveable frame hive beekeeping practices. About 89.3% of the respondents tried to feed their colony at dearth periods, 55.7% of them get their colonies by catching the swarm colonies. The mean honey yield of traditional, transitional and framed type hives was 6.69, 11.90 and 20.57 kilogram per year. Ants (97.9%), black ants (89.3%), wax moth (54.3%), rats (45.7%), birds (37.1%), spider (35.0%), honey badger (32.9%), mice (17.1%), and bee lice were the major pests and predators to tackle the development of beekeeping around Ellala forest. Eighteen honey samples were collected from traditional, transitional hive and framed hive honey as two distinct groups from the represented 3 different agro-ecologies of the study area directly from the apiary farm gates with tightly closed half a kilogram of plastic containers analyzed for eight honey quality parameters ( ash, moisture content, pH, HMF, free acidity, reducing sugar (fructose and glucose) and sucrose content) in the Holeta bee research center and in order to analyze pollen to identify pollen source in two seasons 6 samples were collected and analyzed in Analysis laboratory of School of Chemical and Food Engineering, Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia. The mean ash content, moisture content, pH vale, free acidity, HMF, reducing sugar (fructose + glucose) content and sucrose content are 0.19 %, 20.37%, 3.86, 21.89 meq/kg, 9.89 mg/kg, 72.94meq/kg and 2.67% respectively. All the eight determined parameters showed that 100 % of the sample means were situated in the acceptable range of the world honey quality standard set by Codex Almentarious, 2001. Based on the laboratory analysis of collected samples, 42 plant species also with six botanically unidentified species were identified. Among the identified plant species, 15 plant species were identified during the major honey harvesting season or season-one and 25 plant species were identified during minor honey flow season or season-two. The flowering time of the most identified honey source plants in major honey flow season were between August-January and in minor honey flow season were from December to May. Package designing for implementation of improved practices and extension services, gaining of efficient seasonal trainings, plantation of drought tolerant bee forages, integrating the responsible crop scientists, animal science experts and other administration organizations for efficient utilization of agrochemicals and farther study are recommended to enhance the sector.
