wide range of products and services offered by bee’s Honey Bee wax Pollen Propolis Royal jelly Bee brood Bee Venom Pollination Apitherapy Environmental indicator income generation –not “land” bound –low start-up capital intern. trade cultural

wide range of different actors involved with bee’s Honey-gatherers (rural forest dependent peoples mainly in developing countries for their food, health and cultural needs) Bee-maintaining/-keepers (varying levels of + technology) Bee products processors & traders Bee-keeping equipment manufacturing Food preparation & food processing Industry Health care providers (apitherapy, medications,.....) Farmers and (fruit) (tree-) crops growers (polination) NGO’s (producers/ trade associations, environmental,...) Government Agencies (for ex. Tanzania “Forestry and Bee-keeping Division” Minstr.
