Kate is one of nine senior women from the UK food industry taking part in Farm Africa's Big Beehive Build.

Another great day of building beehives!

Yesterday we got to see Lucia (one of the female entrepreneurs) process the honey collected from her hives. As a food scientist I was pleasantly surprised by the fact they wore labcoats, hats covering all of their hair and facemasks. Very safe process and a great product was produced from it. 

Today ends with 90 hives assembled and only the painting left to do.

Well done ladies!
