One of my neighbours has a couple of friends who are missionaries. They
have recently taken a new posting in Madagascar and apparently, along
with everthing else, have inherited one (or more?) beehives. They know
nothing about bees. My neighbour asked me what advice I could give.
At least I know enough to say "Not much!" Presumably what they need is
local beekeeping contacts or, failing that, some good books. I have
no contacts in that part of Africa at all. I have only been able to
find one good book about practical beekeeping in Africa and that's
for South Africa, not Madagascar, and may not still be in print. (The
copy I saw was quite old.)
"Beekeeping in South Africa" by R.H. Anderson, B. Buys and
M.F. Johannsmeier, published by the S.A. Dept of Agricultural
Technical Services.
Any comments or suggestions?
