Re: Help Tammy Durand Pomroy Feed Starving Children in Siem Reap
quite a reach from feeding kids to raising bees
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: Help Tammy Durand Pomroy Feed Starving Children in Siem Reap
well i may give the training component free to bonafide card carrying poor people. there is a thing called a poverty card here- it proves the beneficiary is living in poverty in a legal sense of proof.
the physical materials and livestock can't be conjured up from thin air though. it would be a little useless to do the course without any way of entering the industry.
i have had a few emails from ngo's who seem interested.
they all have tried this kind of stuff before in the form of - here is your chicken now get on with it.
they know this does not work and they also know that the academics tey draw their staff from do not have real world experience implementing these projects.
i have 15 years experience of tropical bee keeping.
beekeeping is an industry that is rapidly developing in cambodia and has been very successful in vietnam.
like anything else, if people have no skin in the game they wil just hold their hand out for further donations.
so if this is put into a solid business model, with extension services as required in any agricultural industry it may succeed or it may fail.
the prospect of failure does not paralyse me- i have been failing all my life, and sometimes have success too.
it has certainly been successful in parts of africa.
but then, they mostly did not liquidate an entire generation of their educated people like here.

What kind of plants will the bees be sourcing the pollen from?
Can I grow a couple of hectares of lavender and make honey from these bees?

Grow lots of Palm trees.

If raw palm sugar is only worth 2000 r to 3000 r a kg, then it makes more sense for bees to collect the palm liqud and make it into honey .
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I love how so many of these NGOs make completely exaggerated claims. Only meal of the day? Right... I highly doubt it. Cambodia never ceases to amaze in the way NGOs have become a real "part" of society to the extent that kids say they want to work for and NGO when they grow up.

Re: Help Tammy Durand Pomroy Feed Starving Children in Siem Reap
here are some major sources, but i doubt lavender would do well- in general it is not possible in an economic sense to plant anything for honey production as primary purpose.What kind of plants will the bees be sourcing the pollen from?

yes, sugar palms are very good, you would really piss off the palm tappers though if any around; coconuts too. strangely, even rubber and banana. first 5 hives arrive on site tomorrow i think

ABCs and Rice is a totally 100% bona fide charity, one of the best in the country.
