Hi Marsha,
Uganda has good potential for production of honey, and all villages in the region can benefit from beekeeping. You could upload relevant information on this thread so that it becomes easy for the other villages on nabuur to get interested and started on beekeeping.
Basic information could include the following:
- investments required
- income possible
- contact details of organizations involved in supply of inputs like technology, equipment, etc.
- means of financing
- arrangements for marketing

Hi Emmanuel,
Have you managed to download the documents we attached? Do you think it could work if I sent you the docs by email?
I extracted some most interesting things from project plan of Nabuur village in Sierra Leone that successfully implemented beekeeping project (the doc I attached in posting). Maybe you could get some good ideas from that?
„The villagers have been encouraged to build simple equipment that can be upgraded to higher-grade equipment as the profits allow.

Great work Lotte!
In addition to what is needed to set up a business, we need to know:
* possibility to sell the products and the prices. I think it would be good that Emmanuel and the community investigate where and at what prices they could sell honey and other bee products, and also mushrooms.
* transport possibilities for those products
* what is needed to produce those products – if there is anything they need for honey (and other bee products) production, in addition to the equipment needed to set it up and how much it costs

Hi Emmanuel and everyone,
I am really amazed to hear how your community started with poultry business! My complimets for such an initiative and hard work! I am convinced that it will pay off.
I imagine they are a bit disappointed now with poultry business, but please let them know that there are other opportunities that can be grabbed and that we will do our best to help them in that! Hope they will remain hard working and motivated!

Hi James,
I hope this finds you and your family well.
Thanks for the fast reply. Again I have to apologize for being so slow, just a lot going on here.
Let me give you a brief outline of what I THINK would be a good way to move forward here. Let me emphasize that we still have not decided where to begin work, whether in Baoma, Bo, or Kenema area. But these first steps would be helpful in determining whether or not Baoma would be suitable. Remember, some areas are NOT suitable for beekeeping, even if the people are committed.
