About UTMT Society:
Under The Mango Tree Society (UTMTS) is an award-winning not-for-profit organisation that offers beekeeping with indigenous bees to small farmers for enhancing their agriculture through improved pollination. Since pollination is key to any type of fruit production, the presence of bee boxes on a smallholder’s farm improves crop yield significantly. The vision of the organisation is to provide beekeeping as an agriculture input to small and marginal farmers to increase their yields and income; create livelihood opportunities along the beekeeping value chain; and protect and enhance the local population of indigenous honey bees by increasing awareness of their role in the preservation of the ecosystem and encouraging bee-friendly agriculture practices.
