Penny is accompanying nine senior women from the UK food industry taking part in Farm Africa's Big Beehive Build.
We had a great day today – meeting Lucia, seeing honey processing, meeting the very rural Erri community and getting cracking with building!
After Lawrence from Farm Africa's local team showed us the step by step we decided to set up a production line so split into small teams to work on different elements.
It's hard to track numbers but I counted 22 brood boxes full of frames!
But we have loads of wiring of frames to do tomorrow, and then painting too!
So the group is feeling positive, proud and optimistic…though aware of the challenge still to come.
