Bee keeping upgrading project


A bee keeping upgrading project with limited support from the European Development Programme (EDP II) commenced in the Eastern Province in Malambo area. The project targets well about 500 households in chiefs Mkanya, Msoro, Jumbe and Kakumbi for improvement of bee keeping with multiple bee products; pollen, royal jelly, propolis, honey and bees wax. To date 500 bee hives of the estimated 2,000 over the next three years have been fabricated. Local tour operators have come on Board to support the projects as their commitment to making the Community Resource Boards effective. A bee keeping expert, Mr. Vernon Bailie, has been providing training to three bee keeping community extension workers, and fabricating the bee hives.
