Pemberdayaan Peternak Lebah Apis Cerana Melalui Penyuluhan Ekstraktor Madu Type Gion 07 dan Pengemasan Produk Madu Hutan Secara Higienis di Bondowoso

Abstract

Petung Hamlet in Kretek Village, Bondowoso, holds great potential for developing forest honey from *Apis cerana* bees. However, the traditional honey processing and packaging practices result in low-quality products and limited marketability. This community service program aimed to empower local beekeepers through training on hygienic honey processing based on a context-adapted SOP aligned with food sanitation principles. The method included problem identification, SOP development, hands-on training, evaluation, and mentoring. Results showed improved knowledge and practices among the beekeepers, leading to cleaner, more marketable honey products. The team also provided a manual centrifugal extractor as appropriate technology support. This initiative contributes to strengthening the competitiveness of local honey and supports community-based rural economic development.
