Food Production - , ,
APICULTURE is an important agricultural activity in Africa, where honey, wax and other bee products are vital sources of food and income in communities. Honey has a high cash value and is very nutritious. It also has useful medicinal properties and is often used as a traditional remedy for infections and minor injuries where no other treatments are available. Wax is a basic ingredient of a variety of goods, including candles, skin creams and polishes, all of which can be sold or traded to enhance livelihoods. Proplolis and pollen can be used as food supplements while bee venom is a proven cure for rheumatism and arthritis and there is research currently being carried out for it as a potential cure for HIV/AIDS. Our goal at Apis Interactive Network Limited is to integrate Apiculture with the national programs of the government; to institutionalize the industry to make the country self sufficient and possibly, to export honey and other bee by-products; and to contribute to the attainment of countryside development through food security, acceleration of economic growth, promotion of ecological balance, generation and extend economically viable technologies to sustain agro-based industry.
