Women for Bees šŸ

Partnership with UNESCO and Guerlain

UNESCO and Guerlain have launched a state-of-the-art female beekeeping entrepreneurship programme, ā€œWomen for Bees.ā€ Implemented in UNESCO designated biosphere reserves around the world with the support of the Observatoire FranƧais dā€™Apidologie, the programme will have Angelina Jolie as Godmother, helping promote its twin objectives of womenā€™s empowerment and biodiversity conservation.

Starting on 21 June 2021, ten women from five biosphere reserves will be welcomed to a 30-day accelerated training course at the Observatoire every year. Over five years, 50 participants will learn the theoretical and practical bases of beekeeping, including the running of a professional apiary. At the end of the training, participants will have acquired all the protocols allowing them to sustain the life of their bee colonies and to become fully professional beekeeper-entrepreneurs, and members of an international network of female beekeepers.

It also aims to contribute to the repopulation of bees, and to raising awareness of their importance as pollinators bearing in mind that animals play a major part in the pollination of 90% of the planetā€™s wild flowers.

As Godmother to the programme, Jolie meets with the female beekeepers regularly and tracks their progress.

When women gain skills and knowledge their instinct is to help raise others. Iā€™m excited to meet the women taking part in this programme from all over the world. I look forward to getting to know them and learning about their culture and environment and the role bees play in that. I hope the training will strengthen their independence, their livelihoods and their communities.
