Beekeeping is a valuable and sustainable enterprise that aids in pollination, creates room for carbon sequestration, and produces consumable and marketable goods. This project currently employs 70 Batwa families who maintain more than 20 million bees. We train on how to sustain a large bee population, safely harvest honey without killing bees, and produce goods from the wax and honey. A number of products are on the market including wax crafts, candles, body lotions, sweets, and honey.
