This is what you helped make happen in 2023 💛

But our impact is more than our numbers. Beekeeping has provided a lifeline to communities across Africa, from helping avoid dependence on poaching in Uganda, to mitigating environmental degradation in Ghana 🌍

In June this year, Niki Backes, visited seven beekeeping communities we work with in Uganda 🇺🇬

We've pulled some quotes from here interview here:

[Bees Abroad @BeesAbroad]

🖋 7% of people in the UK leave a gift to a charity in their Will, when asked around 40% would do so after looking after their friends and family.

🤩 If only 4% more people did this, it's estimated that a further £1 billion would go to good causes every year.
