Cueva de Los Llanos

Apiaries

2021

  • Beekeepers working on a hive.

Building on the success of a 2019 Seeds project, Cueva de los Llanos used a 2021 Seeds grant to finance 24 more apiaries. The added apiaries benefit 64 additional cooperative members and more than 400 households who have crops in the area.

Besides the environmental benefits, the members will commercialize honey and contribute a percentage of sales to their savings group, strengthening their economic status as a community.
