Beekeeping in Africa: using bees for pollination
The practice of using bees to pollinate fruit crops is as new as the beekeeping industry in most parts of tropical Africa, although the practice has started in a few places in northern and southern Africa. This technology describes how farmers could utilize bees for pollination for their advantages via cooperation with beekeepers. This technology is part of a series on hive management derived from the FAO publication ‘Beekeeping in Africa’.
