Good Day! I am an architecture student taking up my final thesis entitled, BEE COMPLEX: A Proposed Integrated Ornamental Flowers Resort, Apiary and Meadery (Honey-wine making). The suitability of soil in planting common bee plants are crucial for beekeeping practices. Hence, I am requesting soil data and classification for the following barangays:
(1) San Antonio, Tubod, Lanao del Norte
(2) Kalasungay, Malaybalay, Bukidnon and
(3) Panampawan, Claveria, Misamis Oriental

Good day!
As I may have requested data on soil for the mentioned Barangays in Northern Mindanao (REGION X), this on-going thesis is centered on bee tourism, beekeeping practices focusing on the propagation of stingless bees in an architectural context rather than on agricultural purposes. This upholds unto providing facilities for bee research and training, bee related products innovation and production, accommodation and tourism facilities. However, I also aim to provide a bee- friendly environment wherein stingless bees are able to thrive, thus it is crucial to assess the soil of the selected sites where bee plants can grow. As this is an architectural research, I only request for the general type of soil indicated for the aforementioned barangays and not on the specific levels, if this request is possible and if there is any available data.
Thank you for responding to my request and I truly appreciate your time and attention given on this matter. God Bless!
