臺灣蜂箱運輸決策之經濟分析

本文利用數學規劃方法，透過在養蜂箱數目及蜜源供給等限制，以縣市為單位模擬臺灣蜂農分配並運輸蜂箱至龍眼及荔枝蜜源之最適行為。模擬結果顯示，全臺蜂箱之平均運輸距離為229.71公里，尤其北部及東部地區因地理位置距龍眼及荔枝主要產區遙遠或交通不便，導致平均運輸距離較長。在所有運輸路徑中，多數縣市有選擇將部分蜂箱置於原縣市採蜜，反映出蜂農採蜜有降低運輸成本及損耗之傾向。根據實證發現，建議政府協助向消費者推廣使用不同蜜源之蜂蜜，才能讓蜂農就近使用原縣市蜜源，有效降低運輸成本，也有助當地農作物生產。

In this study, a mathematical programming model is built to simulate the beehive transportation routes for beekeepers in Taiwan under welfare maximization with constraints on the number of colonies raised and nectar sources, namely longan and lychee. The results show that the average distance for transporting a colony is 229.71 kilometers. Moreover, for Northern and Eastern Taiwan, the distance is much longer than other areas. Beekeepers tend to reduce the transportation of beehives to reduce the production costs. Based on the findings, it is suggested that the government promotes honey using various nectar sources in order to help beekeepers reduce transportation costs and promote agricultural production.
