US Ambassador’s visit…………………….
During the last training, we had the honour to have the US Ambassador to Uganda, Mr Jerry Lanier, his wife and several staffs from the US Embassy visiting us. Timothy Centre acquired a grant from US Embassy and they were doing a tour to visit projects.
We invited the Ambassador and the team to get up close and personal with african bees. It will be their first time ever. They took the challenge.
A short brief to prepare everyone what to expect before entering the apiary.
Rare sight for all of them. Up close and personal with the aggressive african honey bees for the US Embassy staffs.
Calm african honey bees.
Cool combinations...
Ambassador, bees and me.. š
