Dear friends

Have you discovered TECA? The website run by FAO that provides practical information to help small producers in the field.

Go to the TECA website: www.teca.fao.org and then to Exchange Groups and you will find the excellent Beekeeping Exchange Group.

During September there has been discussion about stingless bees, and before that plans for bee houses. From 17 November we will be discussing how beekeepers best learn their craft, and how long it takes to become proficient.
