Obbo Galata Ararso (from Qanate Biya locality) is one of the beekeepers who have benefited from the project initiatives of Gurmuu. He says:
“In the past, I used to put traditional beehives on large trees by moving far in the forest. After collecting my honey, I leave my hive and colony there; I also do not know the value of wax and dispose it for monkeys or dogs. Thanks to Gurmuu! After I was trained, all my practices have changed. I have now constructed five transitional Kenyan top-bar hives which all of them have bee colonies. I am also constructing three more transitional bee hives to transfer bee colonies from traditional once. In the Last month of October I collected 30kgs of impure honey (mixture of honey and wax) from one Kenyan top bar hive as opposed to the traditional one which I usually harvest 8kgs to the maximum. Here, there is a big difference between these two hives and I am planning to increase the number of transitional beehives. Today a kilo of pure honey is sold at a price of Birr 25.00 at the local markets. I will not throw wax to the field like the past; rather I purify it and sell to the marketâ€.
