The trainees also know how to render wax using a solar extractor and how to make it into sheets.
A second training session in February 2005, showed how to divide the colonies, make raffia frames and use centrifuge equipment to extract honey. There is also a plan to build a room to process the honey and with the assistance of Electriciens Sans Frontières, the room will be lit using solar energy.
Established in 1992, AAA encourages the exchange of information between bee scientists and beekeepers in Asia.
