Beekeeping and Woodlot Plantation
The Ho District is a major honey production area. Most honey producers harvest honey from the wild using fire to kill or scare away bees ? a practice that sometimes lead to bushfires. The project was to introduce the CBO members to modern methods of beekeeping that will not lead to bushfires and increase the survival of bees who will in turn enhance the pollination of plants in the wild. The CBO was assisted to train 30 of its members in the use of the Kenya Top Bar Hive (KTBH) .The CBO was also assisted in managing their business to improve their income.
