In an effort to protect mountain gorillas in the Mgahinga and Bwindi national parks, a bee-keeping project has been initiated by the International Gorilla Conservation Programme (IGCP).
The major objective of coming up with a project of this nature, is to benefit all the communities in the vicinity of these two national parks in Uganda. This strategy aims at curbing down poaching.

Isn’t it amazing, Paula? I know, lately, that bee numbers have been dwindling due to the colony collapse disorder in the States, and they are very important to a lot of food crops. I hope that this initiative is a success, it seems like a win-win situation.
What a cool idea!
