Bees for Development believes that apiculture
is a feasible way to help people to work their way out of poverty, while
at the same time maintaining natural biodiversity. Issues facing our
world include poverty, climate change, deforestation, loss of
biodiversity, water shortages, pollution and urban sprawl. While
beekeeping cannot cure all of these it offers a feasible and wholly
environmentally beneficial activity that helps fight against these
problems. Apiculture gives some of the world's poorest people the
opportunity to harvest commodities of international quality and value.
The beekeeping sector is fast evolving, and it is the most vulnerable
people that have least access to the information they need. Bees for Development's
philosophy is to provide reliable information to beekeepers in
developing countries, to help them to support their livelihoods. Our
approach is to advise beekeepers to use local bees wherever possible,
and to build on local techniques to find the methods that work best with
the resources available.
