The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else.

I did not know of any cancer-related posts in this thread. I should have read it more thoroughly. Apologies to all about this.

It's as absurd as turning up to a famine with a banana and honestly believing you're 'doing your bit'.

Who knew the lack of female bee-keepers was so high up the agenda of problems facing Cambodia?
It's a play on words; it's "B-keepers." She's teaching them how to get a Barang stud, like Brad, to shove a ring on their fingers. I had to block her.

She wanted an innuendo, so I gave her one.

Today's top tip: Buy your honey in the dry season.

An Angelina Jolie Foundation Bee-Raising Project Thrives in Battambang Province
By Torn Chanritheara July 2, 2023 11:20 AM
BATTAMBANG – Families in Battambang province are now earning additional income from raising bees in addition to what they get from growing their usual crops as part of efforts to stimulate the local economy, and this, with support from the foundation led by Hollywood star Angelina Jolie.

Jolie, through the Maddox Jolie-Pitts Foundation (MJP), has been implementing in Samlot district four main projects for which, in the case of the bee project, the foundation provides technical support and helps find markets.

The honey-bee business
Chey Rorng, who is one of the bee farmers, said that she can harvest honey faster that it takes her to plant crops. While she started with the one beehive the project gives each participant, Rorng has now expanded to 25 hives due to the skills she has acquired through the MJP project as far back as 2019, she said.

Because of that training, Rorng can identify the queen bee, knows how to take care of the bees, the type of flowers that can produce pollen and which are the enemies of the bees.

“We can harvest honey every half of each month if the flowers are good for the bees,” Rorng said. In a good harvest season, 10 hives can produce up to 50 liters, she said, adding that she can get 70,000 riel per liter ($17.50) on the retail market.

Rorng said the best time for collecting high-quality honey is between November and February since there is no rain. Honey can also be harvested from June to October but the quality is rather low compared to during the dry season, she said.

The money from bee keeping provides her a decent secondary income apart from growing crops. “My family’s welfare has improved since I started keeping bees,” she said. “Money from beekeeping has been used to buy necessities and school fees.”
