The “Honey Redevelopment Support Project” led by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Enterprise and supported by the CARICOM Development Fund (CDF) is making significant contributions to the beekeeping and honey production industry in Belize. The project has initiated the distribution of 25 bee colonies to new beneficiaries in several districts, including Corozal, Orange Walk, and Belize. One of the beneficiaries is the Belize High School of Agriculture.

In mid-November, the project plans to distribute more bee colonies to beneficiaries in the Cayo, Stann Creek, and Toledo Districts. This demonstrates the project’s commitment to extending its reach and impact. The primary objective of the project is to contribute to the revitalization and development of the honey industry in Belize. Beekeeping and honey production are vital components of this endeavor.

The project is particularly focused on supporting women and young people as beneficiaries. This approach is in line with efforts to empower and involve these demographics in the honey industry. The “Honey Redevelopment Support Project” is a commendable initiative that not only supports the growth of the honey industry but also promotes inclusivity by involving women and young individuals in this sector.
