Empowering Marginalized Beekeepers in Sri Lanka: A Sustainable Path Forward

The bee project in Sri Lanka's upcountry regions aims to empower marginalized youth beekeepers by providing them with essential skills in beekeeping, hive management, and biodiversity conservation. This initiative focuses on youth living in forest areas such as Meemure and Ududumbara, helping them improve their livelihoods while contributing to food security and ecological preservation. By fostering sustainable practices, the project not only enhances economic stability but also strengthens food systems and protects fragile ecosystems. Through workshops and hands-on training, participants gain practical experience and knowledge, enabling them to adopt beekeeping as a sustainable source of income and ecological conservation
