Accra City Bees Project

The abundant beekeeping resources made up of ornamental trees and other flowering natural vegetation of the landscapes of Accra City remain untapped. In collaboration with the British High Commission Accra, appropriate and sustainable beekeeping systems are being developed in the city to turn the nectar, pollen, and other resources used by bees into viable production of honey, beeswax, and other products. The project aims at conserving the bee populations in Accra. Suitable nesting sites and apiaries are being established at places that avoid conflicts between bees and people. Again, developing vibrant city beekeeping systems to offer profitable production opportunities to interested operators. Honey, beeswax, and other bee products are produced in the city for sale. It also hopes to establish a vibrant group of beekeepers who will be empowered with knowledge, skills, and logistics to rescue, protect and relocate stressed bee colonies and swarms in the city.
