Honey Bees

BUSY BEES IN UGANDA, TANZANIA & CAMEROON


Bee helpful by giving the gift of honeybees to an African family! Bees provide many benefits to our project families in Uganda, Tanzania and Cameroon. Native bees produce a sweet, medicinal honey and valuable wax, both of which are in high demand in the local markets.

Each family that receives a gift of honeybees from Bóthar is provided with training in the art of bee keeping, as well as the harvesting and the marketing of the honey and wax. Bóthar also provides protective clothing that can be shared amongst a community group. Beehives require almost no space and, once established, are inexpensive to maintain. After all bees do not require feeding!

More importantly they pollinate trees and plants in the surrounding area, thereby improving some fruit and vegetable yields.
