Bees Abroad is a small UK-registered charity seeking to reduce poverty through beekeeping.
Volunteering Project Managers assess and support beekeeping projects in developing countries world wide. Using indigenous bees and techniques appropriate for each location, Bees Abroad offers training and support in beekeeping including making hives and protective clothing from local materials, managing honeybees, collecting honey safely and handling and storing the produce hygienically.
On April 24 2016, Ian Wallace will be running the Virgin London Marathon in aid to raise money for the Bees Abroad project. To show our support, we have donated one of our high quality beekeeping suits to Ian who will be showcasing the bright orange protective garment during his marathon run.
Ian said, “I want to help Bees Abroad raise money because a close family friend is a key volunteer involved with project.
I have been a big fan of the charity for many years and want to show them my support. I am delighted to be able to help the cause raise money to fund projects which enormously improve people’s lives.”
Brian Sherriff founder of BJ Sherriff is also a patron of the charity.
Any contribution will go a long way in establishing sustainable beekeeping operations in developing countries. If you would like to donate to help raise money for the cause, please visit: https://www.justgiving.com/Running-for-Bees-Abroad
