From the article:
"We need to return to our efforts to crossbreed European and African bees in order to combat the heat and drought prone conditions of Sudan," Hameed continued on this subject so dear to his heart. "This will take time, but in the end we have to do it. As for producing beehives, suites, smokers, and other supplies...as in the past we unfortunately are still purchasing the majority of these supplies from Egypt. For real local production of these items, we will have to wait for economies of scale to develop that can support local producers. At least the knowledge is here.
Sincerely,
Brendhan
