The process begins with healthy bees and wild flowers. Beekeepers, equipped with protective suits, carefully approach the hives. Smoke is used to gently calm the bees, allowing for the safe removal of the honeycombs.
Processing and packaging
At the Kara-Tunga Honey Processing Centre, the honeycombs are handled with care. The honey is extracted and meticulously filtered to ensure purity. Finally, the honey is poured into jars, ready to be enjoyed.
Making the beaded bracelets
Kara-Tunga Honey jars are decorated with handmade, colorful bead bracelets, adding a unique touch to each jar. And creating job opportunities for the local youth.
Labeling of the jars
To ensure traceability, the batch number is written on the side of the jar. A sticker is then placed on top of the lid to seal the jar, guaranteeing the safety and integrity of the product.
Kara Tunga Foundation officially opened the Karamoja sub-regional Honey Center in Moroto town. The centre is aimed at promoting beekeeping as a viable business and incentivising environmental conservation.
Local beekeepers in the Karamoja sub-region of Uganda often face significant hurdles, including limited access to markets, a lack of up-to-date beekeeping knowledge and skills, and insufficient quality tools and equipment.
