In Northern Tanzania stingless bees are widely known
for their medicinal honey. Some people keep the bees
under the eaves of their houses as first aid boxes.
The knowledge around sustainable beekeeping practices,
however, is rather limited. By adopting sustainable meliponicultural
and pollinator-friendly farming practices, trainees gain supplemental
income through stingless bee product sales better yields.
We work with selected community leaders who will further
disseminate sustainable practices in their communities and
encourage a mentoring system amongst farmers.

What we train and teach is based on science!
Therefore, BEEtopia invites scientists from all over the world to
join in the study of stingless and solitary bees.
Scientists can benefit from BEEtopia's research facilitation
and our extensive network of farmers involved in
meliponiculture and willing to participate in research.
