About this site

Our aim is to enable as many people as possible to access information useful for sustainable beekeeping development. All the information on this website can be used for the purposes of promoting apiculture for the benefit of alleviating poverty and conserving biodiversity, within the confines of our copyright.

Bees for Development have compiled the information in this website based on our own experiences, contributions we have received from practitioners over the last twenty five years, and from research papers and texts.
