Bees for Development helps projects and groups in developing countries by sending out Resource Boxes - a pack of publications and materials for use at training courses and workshops. These are for use by beekeeping groups when they hold events, training courses and meetings. Boxes contain a selection of;

  • Bees for Development Journals - an excellent resource and important first contact for new beekeepers
  • Bees and Rural Livelihoods - a booklet explaining why beekeeping is such a great activity. English, Portuguese and Spanish editions available
  • Information Poster 1 - our famous Beekeeping Sustains Livelihoods: 10 good reasons why. Available in English, Mandarin, Portuguese, Spanish and French.
  • Information Poster 2 - Pollination. Available in English, Mandarin, Portuguese and Spanish.

  • Beekeeping training modules for use during training courses in Africa:  Value and life of the honey bee; Honey bee colony management; Harvesting and processing honey; Harvesting and processing beeswax; Choosing and making a bee hive

  • Training Cards - these are full colour training cards with clear images to show beekeeping skills and bee biology

  • A selection of other appropriate publications and media, subject to your location, and our funding resources
  • Sponsorship forms to encourage individual participants to apply for a Bees for Development Journal sponsored subscription

To ensure Resource Boxes arrive in time, your request must reach us at least 12 weeks ahead of the meeting date, with an indication of the number of participants.

 

Organisations with some financial resources can order Resources Boxes from our website store. The standard charge is £50 for 25 participants (surface mail delivery). If you cannot afford to pay you may request a Sponsored Resource Box

 

Please let us know when you have received your Resource Box and how your meeting went, by filling in our Resource Box Report form which is sent out with all Boxes.

 

The Resource Boxes are provided under sponsorship from Bees for Development Trust.

" We are highly appreciative of your regular assistance to us in the field of beekeeping through sending us your Journals and other beekeeping information sources included in your Resource boxes. This major role you played brought about the initiation and inauguration of the beekeeping group writing to you now.
