Today, despite the valuable functions of beekeeping, the economic status of this industry is still below optimal levels. Therefore, analyzing the economic status of beekeeping farms and the economic factors affecting their performance is a crucial step towards improvement. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the economic status of beekeeping farms and the economic factors affecting their performance in Fereydunshahr county, located in Isfahan province, and to provide suggestions for its improvement. The data was collected through face-to-face and telephone interviews using a researcher-made questionnaire during the spring of 2022. The sample size of the study consisted of 140 beekeepers, selected using stratified sampling from the total population of beekeepers in Fereydunshahr county (N=210). Multiple variable linear regression was used for data analysis. The results showed that there was a high level of heterogeneity in the average added value per hive in different farms. Furthermore, the significant economic factors affecting the performance of farms, including the variables of the average added value per hive (0.342), the beekeeper's annual income (0.301), suitable and modern packaging (0.270), average cost per hive (0.234), direct sales of products (-0.206), and processing raw products (0.169). These factors were able to explain 63% of the total performance variance. Finally, solutions such as the formation of an integrated system for adequate and timely distribution of inputs, promotion of technical and managerial knowledge based on successful farms, and the establishment of a contract beekeeping system are suggested to improve the economic status of beekeeping farms.
