Apiconsult

We promote sustainable systems of beekeeping based on locally available resources where appropriate. For example top bar hives made cheaply from materials available in the local environment. We focus on bee product production to fill local market opportunities first. Where sufficient beekeeping potential exists we facilitate export market development. We encourage value adding to bee products for local and export markets. We encourage beekeeping knowledge building through the process of participatory action research. We believe African beekeeping knowledge should be shared for all involved to learn and improve their beekeeping practices.

About me tom Tom Carroll, PhD Webmaster Apiconsult, January 2017. Information sharing and knowledge is the key to beekeeping development in Africa. More and more African beekeepers are able to access information online (and through intermediary organisations) as internet connections become better and computers become more ubiquitous across Africa. Therefore the opportunity to reach smallholder farmers and empower them with appropriate knowledge via the internet is growing year by year. Apiconsult is also on social media - see links to Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram.
