BfD Trust (UK Registered Charity1078803) works to assist beekeepers in developing countries.

Byakatunda Abbott (right) and Dgirigoli Powell (left) are members of Masaka Beekeepers Association in Kawenge Sub County, Uganda. This is a group of young beekeepers who seek to learn and share ideas about what it is like to be a young beekeeper. They did not know about BfD Journal until Martin Jones, BfD’s Project Officer showed them. However, George Tunanukye from KABECOS, one of BfD’s partner organisations in Uganda, has pledged to send them a copy.
