Improved honey production and processing in dryland Kenya

Date Posted: April 14th, 2008

Posted in: Farm Radio International script of the week, Issue# 18, Past Issues

As this week’s news story about bee products mentions, beekeeping is often promoted as a sustainable livelihood for rural people. Since bees feed on and promote the growth of natural vegetation, the environmental impact of beekeeping is minimal. This week’s script features an interview with Linus Wekesa, a researcher in improved beekeeping practices. Mr. Wekesa explains the beekeeping practices that he promotes as part of his work with the Desert Margins Program in dryland Kenya – a program aimed at enhancing food security and alleviating poverty by halting or reversing desertification.
