AFTER five successful years of producing honey in her backyard, housewife Norani Mohd Halel decided to make soaps using honey from the same bees.

Norani, 57, started keeping stingless bees, known locally as lebah kelulut, in 2016 after attending a workshop at the Kampung Melayu Raya Village Community Centre (PKD), where she learnt about bee farming and honey-making.
