The honey harvest 2022 took place in April and May. The volume harvested was lower than expected.
Some of the new hives distributed to the women were installed only at the beginning of the year. Swarms in those hives will be in full production next year.
Another reason is the strong wind at tthe time of flowering of the fruit trees (mango, cashew nuts, shea nuts). Flowers fell and could not be visited by the bees.
The average income per women from the beekeeping activity has increased of 20% despite the lower volume harvested.
The feedback we get from the women is still very positive and they are asking us for more hives.
This project has many positive points: most of the work for beekeeping is made by the bees, women work is minimum, bees are good for polination, good revenue from the honey sales for the women.
