Honey flows despite unrest, Corona and locusts

First the coronavirus pandemic, then a plague of locusts and finally the outbreak of a conflict in the neighbouring region – 2020 was a hard year for the participants of the Biovision project “Bees for Young Entrepreneurs” in Dehana, Ethiopia. But those responsible on the ground have managed to keep the successful project on track.

A plus in biodiversity and income thanks to bees

Bees pollinate up to 80% of all plants and so are amongst the most important working animals in agriculture. In addition, bees produce honey, a healthy food that improves the diet of smallholders and their families in sub-Saharan Africa and increases incomes.
