Winter Talk: Bees Abroad


For the last of this season's Winter Talks, David Evans spoke about the work of Bees Abroad.  The organisation promotes community beekeeping in the Third World, particularly in Africa, by teaching communities how to maintain thriving colonies and to market hive products, thereby improving their standard of living.  David, who has worked on Bees Abroad projects in Kenya, described some of the problems facing Kenyan beekeepers, including safari ants and honey badgers.  At the end of the meeting, David was presented with a cheque, a donation to Bees Abroad from NEWBKA.
