PLAN BEE AFTER THE FLOODS

Current Status of the Beekeepers, Beehives and Honey Production After the Floods

The entire beekeeping community in Gilgit, Hunza-Nagar, Ghizer, Chitral and Kalash Valley have been severely affected by Monsoon rains and floods that started in July and continued until September 2010. These floods resulted in massive infrastructural damage and property losses.

The devastating floods have left the beekeepers and their families homeless and without food and water. The production of honey has suffered disastrously. More than 33% of the beehives have perished in the torrential rains.

  

The beekeepers  concerned about their capacity to produce the honey committed to fill the orders made by the hotels and grocery stores for 2011 and send their children back to quality schools.

 

·   762 beehives damaged by the torrential rains.

·   Women lost their jobs and beehives.

·   Girls and boys cannot afford to come back to school.

·   No honey production expected until end of March 2011.

 

We need your help to raise $80,772 to replace the 762 damaged beehives.

Each $106 will buy a beehive to help the beekeepers replace the damaged beehives, kick-start their honey production and fill the orders committed for 2011.
