Workshop Success

Chris Mtsenga, Runnymede Village, Tzaneen, South Africa

For some reason unknown to us, our package arrived later than the 2016 community workshop day, held annually in Runnymede village. This was a problem as the beekeeping workshop was long advertised and had an interested following we did not wish to disappoint. With no Resource Box at hand, we created a training programme to fill the gap. Shortly after, our package arrived. With the workshop day already past, and several people already disappointed at the training, I reluctantly opened the package. The Journals and training manuals were in good condition. I notified Bees for Development of its arrival, and after that I resealed the package to wait for the 2017 community workshop day. However, after being contacted again, I was motivated to organise a private workshop to conduct the Bees for Development series in November 2016. During the month, the interest kept growing with each lesson and at the end of November I announced that our series had come to an end. However, the participants proposed that we study BfD Journal articles and do presentations from them, which we did. I am still surprised at the wealth of information found in these Journals.

After completion of our training we distributed Bees for Development Journal among the eleven most consistent participants
