Train the group in modern beekeeping practices, including how to build beehives, bee suits, smokers, bee brushes. In addition, the group will be taught how to produce high quality honey and value-added products such as creams and lip balms. Participants will be assessed and certified. Selection and support for group trainers will be ongoing.
There are challenges at both project and individual participant levels. Challenges for Project Sucess are Apiary location & Participant Attendance. The participants will need to be organised and focused over a bee season to identify a group apiary, attend regularly and put training into practice. There is more than one potential location for a central training apiary. If a central training apiary is not identified early and agreed, consistent attendance may be an issue. We are aiming for 85% attendance over the bee year. BA also hope to recruit 2 new trainers from the group. Per personal statements from participants, income generation is a key personal motivator. The group will need to devise an action plan in advance, to maximise opportunities to increase income from honey and secondary product sales.
