Bees on Bonaire?

[Rob den Dekker]

Hi all,

I'll be visiting the caribbean island of Bonaire soon and was wondering whether any beekeeping takes place there. Google isn't very helpful.

Cheers,
Rob.

From their website:

Regional - The Association of Caribbean Beekeepers' Organisations (ACBO) and Bees for Development are working together on a number of initiatives including organisation of the Caribbean Apiculture Congresses. Bees for Development has particularly strong links with beekeepers in Trinidad & Tobago, and St Vincent & The Grenadines. During 2003-2004 we provided research and training services to the research project on top-bar hives in Tobago

Oddly enough ... this very current thread on the biobees site may be of interest, the OP is a Bonaire beekeeper:
