Ecofarms® Beekeeper Travels to China
In Summer 2017, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce facilitated a two month intensive training for beekeepers from sixteen countries including Jamaica, Grenada, Kenya, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, South Sudan, South Africa, China, Zimbabwe, Georgia, Venezuela, Palestine, Ghana, Ethiopia and Panama.
One of our deaf beekeepers, Javell, along with an interpreter was fortunate enough to be selected to join the team. For two months they received training in bee biology, diseases of the hive, queen rearing and organic beekeeping. methods.
Special thanks to Ms. Carol Francis of the Public Broadcasting Corporation of Jamaica for graciously coordinating this trip.
