Bees Abroad – 9 January 2025 – David Holloway

David Holloway is one of the Partnership Managers for Bees Abroad, he looks after one of the larger groups in the Rwenzori Mountains in Western Uganda. David says “Working with a large group of beekeepers that keep excellent records, has given me the opportunity to look at the pros and cons (cost-benefit, sustainability, performance and environmental impact) of a wide range of hive types (Top Bar, Traditional Log and Woven Hives ) I would like to share with your group which should create some lively debate.

I will also talk about some of the other projects that Bees Abroad are actively involved with and will be promoting our Hive Twinning programme.”

David is also a Trustee of both Basingstoke and District BKA and Hampshire BKA, and has been keeping bees for about 7 years. He is actively involved with BDBKA’s training and mentoring programmes and is assistant apiary manager for Basingstoke’s training apiaries.
