Assessment of Honeybee production practices and quality were undertaken in Guji district of Ethiopia. Honey samples were col- lected from farmer’s hives and local honey market for chemical analysis to determine its quality. Physicochemical analysis of honey was carried out at Haramaya University Animal Nutrition and Food Science technology. All physicochemical parameters analyzed lie within limits of local and international standard. Honey laboratory analysis was subjected to one way ANOVA of SAS. Above all, im- proving the low level of technological input and honey quality defects, address the skill gap on post-harvest handling of hive products, processing and packaging need a practical training to local beekeepers. Moreover, facilitating supply of quality apicultural equipment is crucial and further consistent practical training on bee and bee products management for community is recommended
