| Beekeeping plays a critical role in ecosystem conservation and sustainability, with ecosystems providing essential resources for apiculture and beekeeping reciprocally enhancing biodiversity through pollination services. However, beekeeping farm performance have faced many pressures. This study identified determinants of the beekeeping farm performance for improving its efficiency, competitiveness, and ecological contributions. Data were collected in 2022 from a sample size of 140 beekeepers (n=140) selected through stratified sampling among the beekeepers of Fereydunshahr county (N=210) in Iran. Multiple linear regression model was used for data analyzing. Results underscore that higher income (β = 0.836) and colony numbers (β = 0.358) enhance productivity, while land slope (β = -0.102) and marital obligations (β = -0.206) may limit operational capacity. The model explains 70% of performance variance, highlighting actionable levers for policymakers. Prioritizing these factors in interventions can strengthen beekeeping viability, fostering synergies between rural livelihoods and ecosystem health. The findings revealed that economic factors demonstrating the strongest impact on beekeeping farms’ performance. Annual income of beekeepers and total number of colonies on the farm emerged as the most significant positive predictors of farm performance, highlighting the critical role of financial resources and scale economies in this sector. The negative correlation between marital status and farm performance reveals important social dynamics, suggesting that family responsibilities may constrain time investment and risk-taking behaviors necessary for optimal farm management. Our findings regarding initial colony numbers at the time of starting the business underline the importance of starting conditions for long-term success, while the significance of average cost per colony confirms that adequate investment in hive management is essential for productivity. Technical factors, particularly distance between the farm and the appropriate water source and slope of the land in the farm settlement area, demonstrate the complex interplay between environmental conditions and beekeeping practices. | ||
