A comprehensive set of training materials intended to assist beekeeper trainers. Our modules are designed for the African context, but many principles can be applied elsewhere – also included are comprehensive lesson plans for each training session. Other materials include training posters, videos and audio guides. As we become more disability inclusive, we are slowly producing an archive of disability specific tools that can be found in this collection.

View DetailsBeekeeping & Development Guides
Our Beekeeping and Development Guides explain the importance of creating direct links between beekeepers and buyers and how this can be achieved. The guides go on to provide information for honey packers and those interested in accessing the global honey and beeswax market. They are not about harvesting and processing honey nor are they beekeeping training manuals.
Drawing from experiences in Uganda, Cameroon, Zambia and many other countries, the Guides are a relevant and useful resource for anyone interested in the beekeeping and development sector.
