Expansão da Apicultura no Bico do Papagaio e Comercialização do Mel
Expansão da Apicultura no Bico do Papagaio e Comercialização do Mel
ABIPA currently has 120 associates, who have succeeded in dissuading farmers to use fire, increased income, and better nutrition for the local families. Rational beekeeping in Axixá do Tocantins, state of Tocantins is growing, and to act as a catalyst for this growth, this project will enable the creation of a rotating fund for manufacturing beehives, as well as providing working capital for honey harvesting. New beekeeper nuclei will be implemented, with technical training, production of boxes for the bee colonies and collection gear, and purchase of 2,500 liters of honey at the time of harvest.
