Bees are social insects that play a key role as pollinators of about 74% food crops and approximately 80% contribution to bee forage trees in Africa. However, the population of bees has been on the decline at a very alarming rate. Some of the key lessons learnt in the training was to address these challenges.
Dr Judith Mbau, a senior lecturer in this department on 27th October 2023, engaged participants in honey processing and value addition. The bee farming participants were drawn from all over Kenya. The two weeks training took place at Africa Ventures.
Objectives: The course aims at equipping participants with holistic knowledge and skills on bee farming in order to spur entrepreneurship, conservation of bees and environment and enhance food security.
