Case study: Manuel’s bees help love grow
'The best thing about keeping bees is knowing we benefit from them in so many ways.' Manuel, El Salvador
Manuel is a beekeeper and farmer from El Salvador. Thanks to people like you, he’s been busy keeping bees since 2018. He now has 11 active beehives!
He believes that keeping bees has many benefits starting from their ‘pollination, the food they provide and the health benefits. When one discovers all this, your love for them grows even greater.’
The money Manuel makes from selling honey helps support his family and their small farm, where they also grow maize and fruit trees (pollinated by their hardworking bees!). Manuel thinks that all farmers should become beekeepers – it makes him feel connected to his land.
He told us: ‘[Training and support from CAFOD’s local experts] helps us to see ourselves living here, not having to move abroad. We can achieve lots of things staying here where we are from.’
This gift is part of our Farming fund.
