The rainy season stopped beginning of October. During the rainy season, grass grows around the hives. It needs to be cleaned to avoid that wild fire burn them and to avoid easier access to the hives for termites.
Our beekeeping specialist visits all the village to check on this cleaning and to give advice regarding the coming harvest. In general, we see that women are taking good care of their hives, better than men.
The main comments which our specialist brought back were regarding the fact that they want more hives and they would like to see an increase in the price the raw honey is bought.Ther will be an increase to the purchase price of 10%. For additional hives, we are counting on you to help.
The volume of honey bought by our association is increasing each year. To be able to process the raw honey we have a brand new honey processing unit. It has temperature and humidity control. It will also allow to have a better traceability of the honey between the beekeeper and the conditionned pots.
Thank you again for your support.
We have a lot of women who wants additional hives, thanks to communicate this project to your friends and family.
