a)
No source of electricity In their earliest time when they are still new on the business of bee eeping, there is no sour!e of ele!tri!ity in their pla!e so all of their produ!ts are handmade and their produ!tion is more on labor intensi"e sin!e they !ant use ma!hines be!ause it re5uires ele!tri!ity to wor. 'hey started ha"ing an ele!tri!ity supply in 011 and its progress !ontinues up to this date by woring on other possible
sour!es of ele!tri!ity su!h as the windmills, wind turbines and solar panels. b) ach achin inee brea breakd kdo! o!ns ns 6hile they are woring on their produ!tion pro!ess, their generator malfun!tioned !ausing the e)tra!tion of honeybees to stop woring.
