The project was sited at Abomoyaw Anyansu Mpakadan, Apegusu and Aboaso fringing the Volta Lake in the dry semi-deciduous forest zone. The area was experiencing rapid deforestation particularly because of crop farming near the Volta gorge and along the banks of the river. As a result of the Local Government ban on crop farming in the gorge area, the NGO proposed to popularize bee keeping that will provide a means of livelihood while improving pollination and propagation of flora biodiversity and improving carbon sequestration. The project had help 5 communities to start bee keeping using the Kenyan Top Bar Hives. Beneficiaries were to pass on an agreed portion of their profit to new people as a ?revolving fund?.
