Welulang Village in the Lumbang District of Pasuruan has flourished as a central hub for "Madu Randu" (Kapok honey) production, serving as a primary economic pillar for the local community. Beekeepers in this region cultivate the Apis mellifera species to produce high-quality honey sourced from the nectar of Kapok tree blossoms. Under optimal weather conditions, a single 15-day harvest cycle can yield up to 400–500 kilograms of fresh honey from approximately one hundred colony boxes. The product's clear quality and delicate aroma have established Lumbang honey as a signature commodity, highly sought after by consumers from various regions.

The significant market potential is reflected in the strong demand for both wholesale and retail purchases, offering competitive pricing for industry stakeholders. The local government, through the Lumbang District office, continues to encourage the development of this sector as it has proven to strengthen the economic resilience of residents, especially in facing global market challenges. In addition to Kapok honey, diverse local vegetation such as mango and coffee further enriches the flavor profile and market value of these local products. The synergy between local wisdom and professional cultivation management is expected to continue driving the beekeeping sector as a vital economic engine for the Pasuruan Regency.
