THE CONCEPT
3.
The Project
The project is a systemic approach to assisting the growth of the Uganda
honey bee industry. The project would teach people to construct their
own honey bee hives and to produce their own protective head veils and
clothing, tools, and hive smokers. It is a project that would work with
people who have very little resources.
Three main areas/phases of development would be undertaken. The
three phases would be:

There are many products that have the potential to be produced within the
industry including some of the above. They are as follows 1:
Point of difference
No drugs/chemicals are needed to keep the bees alive in Uganda for
honey production. For the majority of the beekeeping countries outside
Africa, this is not the case, and beekeepers rely on a number of
drug/chemical interventions to sustain their honey bee colony numbers.
This is an important success factor for any development programme.
The Environment:
Beekeeping does not damage the environment. Beekeepers promote
conservation because plants produce nectar, the basis of honey. The
industry does not promote the utilisation of fertile land or the destruction of
native fauna habitat.

Note: The critical success factor to building hive numbers will be the
ability to obtain brood and young bees (frames of young bees) from
established colonies. Further, queen bees will need to be produced. This
will require the use of established colonies. It is proposed that these
colonies be purchased and used to establish a demonstration farm. If this
is not practical under Ugandan conditions and with Ugandan honey bees
then swarms will need to be caught.

The project would pull together a systemic framework that can provide
the industry with a common structure for different stakeholders to work
together to lift the industry to better performance levels. Good progress
has been made to date and the industry has been winning in many areas.
However, there is a desire to capture this organic growth and provide the
industry with a strategic business focus for greater wealth creation for
individuals.
On a more practical note, training would see the transfer of further
knowledge and skills to help promote increased production yields.

It is also proposed, while the goal is to train beekeepers and produce and
farm new colonies, that enough woodenware to establish new production
colonies and equipment would be made available to successfully trained
people. This hive equipment would be:
