Project Report | Sep 6, 2019
Working all year round in Zambia

By Manon Koningstein | Chief Marketing and Communications Officer

Installing a beehive
Installing a beehive

The Luanshya project runs all year. In January vegetation surveys are conducted to assess the region. In the same month fruit trees are planted, and again in August and September. In December pine and fruit trees are planted.

In the same month, the process of Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) starts with a restoration.                                                   

There’s a break in March – when farmer training takes place – and picks back up in April and May when ANR-mapping is done. Then it continues up until August as well as in October.

Training activities are an important aspect of this project and besides farmer training, women's nursery training is done in September and extensionist services or farmer education in October.

In the first year of beekeeping, there is nothing to harvest yet and starting from the second year honey harvesting is done in June, July, and November.

Thank you for making this possible!
