Greetings from Spain

Aguadulce · January 18, 2009, 12:33:28 PM

We live in Spain and are interested to be involved, again, in beekeeping in the Philippines. A lot of works needs to be done and can be done. In 1987 I conducted a feasibility study for small farmers. Main purpose was to see if eg Apis cerana can be held under economical viable technics. It seems that new technics have been developed with this bee. If any one wants to share experience with cerana and I am very interested.
I am also updating my list of beekeepers in the Philippines. I appreciate very much your reactions .

Kind regards , Aguadulce

Hi and welcome, the more the merrier. It will be interesting to hear of any differences in beekeeping between our country and yours.

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome. I have been in Canada a couple of times a long time ago. First to pick tobacco in Ontario and second for bumble bees. But that is another story.
I hope to learn more on rural beekeeping in this forum. People who have experience to work with low external input material but achieve acceptable results, especially in developing countries. Hopefully some of those technics I can use in the Philippines in the (near ) future.
I am looking at transfer of knowledge, use of simple methods to make foundation, processing honey after harvest, decease control with local medicines. etc.

Kathy, I looked in Abejaruco's profile. The last time he was active was on November 23, last. No clue what he is up to, probably just busy with life, smiling. Cindi
