actually want them so to illustrate from

actually want them so to illustrate from personal experience I had a beekeeping

personal experience I had a beekeeping

personal experience I had a beekeeping training project in shangri-la which is

training project in shangri-la which is

so into the communities that would you

so into the communities that would you like to keep bees and they’re like oh

like to keep bees and they’re like oh

like to keep bees and they’re like oh yeah okay we can keep bees and so we

yeah okay we can keep bees and so we

yeah okay we can keep bees and so we follow the best practice that I knew

follow the best practice that I knew

follow the best practice that I knew about at the time and the community

about at the time and the community

about at the time and the community leaders selected the five poorest

leaders selected the five poorest

leaders selected the five poorest families and they were each going to

families and they were each going to

families and they were each going to receive four hives and we found a

receive four hives and we found a

receive four hives and we found a beekeeping professor from Beijing that

beekeeping professor from Beijing that

beekeeping professor from Beijing that was gonna come and teach them how to

was gonna come and teach them how to

was gonna come and teach them how to keep these and fast forward one year no

keep these and fast forward one year no

keep these and fast forward one year no bee eyes left total failure you’re like

bee eyes left total failure you’re like

bee eyes left total failure you’re like uh you know sorry to investigate what

uh you know sorry to investigate what

uh you know sorry to investigate what had happened and so the first problem we

had happened and so the first problem we

had happened and so the first problem we identified was that actually the

identified was that actually the

identified was that actually the he’s came by truck the 20 hives and one

he’s came by truck the 20 hives and one

he’s came by truck the 20 hives and one of the beehives had fallen over in

of the beehives had fallen over in

of the beehives had fallen over in transit and the bees had flown away

transit and the bees had flown away

transit and the bees had flown away swarmed so there were 19 hives left and

swarmed so there were 19 hives left and

swarmed so there were 19 hives left and the community sat down thought you know

the community sat down thought you know

the community sat down thought you know how do you equitably distribute 19 hives

how do you equitably distribute 19 hives

how do you equitably distribute 19 hives don’t you hold them all in common so I

don’t you hold them all in common so I

don’t you hold them all in common so I mean we can all think about what the

mean we can all think about what the

mean we can all think about what the problems of everyone owning and not

problems of everyone owning and not

problems of everyone owning and not owning these hives and there were a

owning these hives and there were a

owning these hives and there were a number of problems like that we went

number of problems like that we went

number of problems like that we went through them one by one we worked out

through them one by one we worked out

through them one by one we worked out what all the solutions could be and then

what all the solutions could be and then

what all the solutions could be and then we went back to the community we said hi

we went back to the community we said hi

we went back to the community we said hi would you like to try beekeeping again

would you like to try beekeeping again

would you like to try beekeeping again we think we’re better at this now he

we think we’re better at this now he

we think we’re better at this now he said yeah you know that that could be

said yeah you know that that could be

said yeah you know that that could be okay but we’d really like to keep ducks
