Dear friends

Congratulations to Zimbabwe Women's Bureau, the winners of our December competition.

It was a difficult task to choose the finalists. Many entries were technically excellent pictures of bees and beekeeping. However our judges decided to select winners from those entrants who most closely met the request to provide a picture showing beekeeping and development in action.

Our cover shows the first second and third winners. A selection of other entries the judges felt caught the spirit of the competition are shown on page five.

Zimbabwe Women's Bureau will therefore receive the first prize a of complete Strainaway® Honey Filtering System.

The second prize winner is Ukiru O'Temgo of Kenya.

The third prize winner is Grace Mande of Uganda.

Congratulations to you all!
