In Trapia, Brazil, Mike Wilson, a BMS development worker, has established a beekeeping project to prevent locals from chopping down trees to get honey. He says: "We carefully capture the colony and put the combs into a hive, where we can look after the bees and get them through the drought. With more bees, crops planted during the sporadic rains all produce more".
