As expected the harvest of honey in April / May 2025 was very good. We have been able to buy over 20.000 kg of raw honey from 250 beekeepers. From those 70% are women.
One woman in the village of Fon got a revenue of 350 euro from her harvest. This is an incredible amount which will help her to pay for medical and education costs of her family.
The payment for the honey comes to the beekeepers in May / June. They come at a good time since funds are needed for the fields input before the rainy season.
Unfortunatly we have not been able to measure the impact of the bees on the production of fruits. There are too many varaibles which we cannot control / measure.
Due to the success of this project, a lot of women are still asking for hives. Also the bees are doing the majority of the work and the harvest time do not conflict with the field work.
Help them to get more hives!!!
Thank you
