Abstract:
But ten years ago, Asaf had just three traditional hives and produced only six kilogrammes of honey a year. Then he attended a national training of trainers programme, organized and sponsored by the Entomology Department of the Ministry of Agriculture. After completing his training, he became involved in training other beekeepers in his local communities. Asaf was also able to interact with NGOs and international and local funding agencies, such as USAID, FAO and the District Farmers Association. These agencies helped him to expand his apiary and acquire improved top-bar hives.
