African Honey Workshop

Bees for Development Honey Trade Workshop

Bees for Development organised a Honey Trade Workshop for two days prior to the Apimondia Congress (Jury's Ballsbridge Hotel Dublin 19-20 August 2005). The Workshop was organised as part of our DFID/BLCF Project on African Honey, and arranged in cooperation with two of Apimondia's Standing Commissions: Beekeeping For Rural Development, and Beekeeping Technology and Equipment. The main purpose of the Workshop was to enable more producer groups to become eligible for honey export to the EU. Speakers - from 18 different countries - included those from producer groups already on the EU's list of 'third countries', those hoping to join soon, and honey importers and buyers.
