Acara: Symposium on Best Practices in Sustainable Agriculture (14 Februari 2019)
Session: This workshop seeks to draw together people involved in or interested in top-bar beekeeping. Drawing from our experience of starting beekeeper groups in rural villages in the Mwanza region, we will discuss challenges faced, lessons learned and also the potential for the future of beekeeping in Tanzania. We will discuss practice for caring for hives, harvesting honey and wax, processing and marketing honey and wax products.
