Buzz Club Ghana

Basic School Children learn about bees and beekeeping

Buzz Club Ghana, our maiden project, offers the opportunity for basic school children to learn about bees and other pollinators, the role of bees in food production, and biodiversity conservation. The children also learn the art of beekeeping as well as develop their entrepreneurial skills at this young stage. The initial objective of teaching beekeeping to children within primary and junior high schools to enable them to earn money to facilitate secondary school education has since changed due to the free senior high school policy in Ghana introduced in 2017. The clubs have since shifted from honey production to focus on learning about bees, beekeeping, and the environment. We started with two schools but expanded to ten schools in 2022. About 400 school children have directly benefited from this project. Sixty (60) children have since graduated from the clubs. The project has since trained 15 basic teachers who are applying their skills and knowledge to earn additional income from active beekeeping aside their salaries.
