It is late summer and your few hives are producing enough honey to help you and your family barely get by this winter. You are in charge of the entire honey process, and your potential customers are limited to the people in surrounding villages. Scarce economic opportunities is a reality for many in rural Armenian communities. These opportunities along Armenia’s border frontier with Azerbaijan, are even more limited. Rather than raising money for these businesses once, we have implemented a sustainable model that provides continued business and positive economic growth for not only the beekeeper, but many families throughout the village. Learn more about bees, the honey process and our hives in rural Armenia with Der Mesrop and Yeretzkin Annie Ash.
