Today we visited Kikungwi to check on our beehives 🐝

Unfortunately, we found five hives empty, with many pests inside. It was a disappointing moment, but also a strong reminder of the importance of proper hive management and pest control.

We keep learning and improving for better results 🌱

Protecting nature starts with small actions.

On the 2nd Tuesday of March 2026, We ( Zaveco )visited Kikungwi to commemorate World Wildlife Day through a practical bee hive inspection activity. 🐝

Bees play a vital role in biodiversity, pollination, and sustaining healthy ecosystems. Through this activity, we continue to promote environmental conservation, community awareness, and sustainable livelihoods.

We are proud of the enthusiasm, participation, and commitment shown by the community members throughout the sessions. This is a strong step toward self-reliance and green livelihoods 🌍💚

Every inspection brings us closer to healthier bees and a healthier environment. 🌍
