a case study of KUAGA cooperative, Gatare Sector, Nyamagabe District, RwandaSamenvatting
Although beekeeping is increasingly taking commercial orientation in Rwanda, it has been of subsistence nature. Beekeepers’ own forests are unsuitable for beekeeping as they are small over-harvested plantations with short rotations of 2 to 3 years. In addition, the use of pesticides in agricultural plantations caused honeybees’ mortality resulting in the decline of honey production, thus affecting the livelihoods of beekeepers.
