Forty-four participants are involved in a bee training workshop organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Enterprise in collaboration with the Mexican Agency for International Cooperation for Development. This follows a honey industry evaluation held last week for the Orange Walk and Corozal districts.
Drs. Rodrigo Medellin and Priscilla de la Torre have conducted the evaluation session and are now conducting the sessions. The participants include 8 MAFSE technicians, 2 RRB technicians, 2 teachers from the Belize High School of Agriculture, 15 UB students,
and 17 Beekeepers. Topics include Bee Biology, Beekeeping Management, Good Practices for the Production, Management and Packaging of Honey (BPPMyEM), Traceability of honey, Diversification of the different by-products of the hive, and the Impact of Climate Change on Beekeeping, Rearing Queen Bees, and Prevention and Control of the main diseases in Bees.
This project aims to revitalize the bee and honey industries in Belize. AMEXCID works hand in hand with MAFSE as both countries pursue bilateral cooperation agreements.
