PCV Travis lives in Sare Sofi, a Fula village about 40 k from me in the CRR. His village people expressed interest in beekeeping, so he asked me to come teach some men how to weave grass hives.
I biked over in the morning and met with his main counterpart. PCV Amber came over to help and provide some moral support.
We had 5 men come for the training and all of them managed to weave a sizable portion of hive by the end of the day.
It was fun to do Work, and my language skills are high enough that I could explain what to do, with only a few clarifications in English with the help of a man translating.
The men were all very motivated to make hives and keep bees. They promised to finish the hives and asked if I would come back to help them hang the hives in the bush.
