Bees are important pollinators and many ecosystems depend on the pollination by bees for their existence and for increasing their genetic diversity through cross-pollination. Bee pollinators strongly influence ecological relationships, ecosystem conservation and stability, genetic variation in the plant community, floral diversity, specialization and evolution. Bees play an important role in ecosystem services (Crane, 1999). Generally honey bees are important pollinators responsible for healthy development of the environment through enhancing transfer of pollen grains which necessitate genetic diversity of different species. Most importantly, Tropical Honey use beekeeping as a practical tool for raising the awareness of these communities on the importance of forests management and for stimulating their conservation by improving their biodiversity. Tropical Honey promote tree planting and environmental conservation awareness because plants produce nectars and pollens which are basis of honey production. This is a point of difference and an important basis for supporting our business.
At Tropical Honey, we provide community with training and technical support to set up suitable apiaries, supply of beehives, honey processing equipment & quality tree seedlings and business development6 advisory services.
