1. Please, tell us a bit about yourself: where are you from and what is your background?
Alisi Francis, 32-year-old Bsc Holder in Geology, preparing myself to become the very best entrepreneur in modernized beekeeping business. I am an active beekeeper with over 3 years post NYSC experience gained within the Apiculture industry. I worked with Apiflora-Resources as an assistant Apiculturist with responsibilities on practical beehives operation and management. I have undergone training courses on Entrepreneurship and beekeeping with African Management Initiative and other organizations. My greatest motivation in beekeeping business is on its Apitherapy (the use of bee-products to cure nutritional and health disorders) and creating diversification in Agriculture through crop pollination. The nutritional and medicinal properties of honey bees cannot be overlooked in this 21st century. Honey-bees amount to 80% of all pollination of crops, ie. without honey bees services, more than a third of fruits and vegetables that human consumption will be lost. It means that every third bite of food we take was made possible by bees. I have saved lives, restore health among individuals and families with honey bees products (Propolis, Pollens, Venom, Wax).
