Rachel Monger A story of beekeeping abroad

Rachel has lived and worked for many years in Tanzania. Her work included starting community beekeeping groups and establishing beekeeping project management in the Mwanza region. She worked with a group of women with albinism to establish “The Hive”, a social enterprise honey processing centre and shop, selling honey and making and selling handcrafted beeswax products. She now lives in Bath and continues to support beekeeping in Africa with Bees Abroad. She loves the adventure that makes beekeeping in Africa so exciting and is passionate about seeing individuals supporting one another in community, learning and developing new skills and generating their own income to better support their families.
Presentation: A Story of Beekeeping Abroad
This presentation will look at the life-changing work of Bees Abroad through the lens Rachel’s adventures and experiences learning to be a beekeeper and then starting rural beekeeping groups in northern Tanzania. As she shares about her work, you will hear about the challenges and the benefits of Tanzanian beekeeping. You will hear the stories of vulnerable, stigmatized women with albinism who now proudly run a Honey Centre and Shop, selling honey from village beekeepers and their own beeswax products. You will learn how Bees Abroad projects provide more than just a sustainable ongoing income, creating “Beekeepers for Life” and changing lives in some of the most disadvantaged of rural communities in Africa.
