Quest for excellence…………………….

This footage was done in 2002. Professor Horn was observing the health of the African honeybees. I was his understudy then. We discovered that the bees in Uganda are free from any diseases or virus. No medication is required. Almost the whole beekeeping industry in the New World are succumbed to some diseases or virus. Not in Uganda. There are no traces of American Foul Brood, European Foul Brood or Varroa Mites,which are very common in other parts of the World.

Why did you change over to hives with frames?
Was there any selection: these bees are more quiet than I experience in Cameroon!
What is your annual profit (honey + wax) per hive?

What is the price of Uganda honey?
Kind regards,
