International Stingless Bee Project - Ghana

A short distance from Kakum and on the border of the forest, we find the International Stingless Bee Project. There have been approximately 9 species of stingless bees identified here in Ghana and their importance to the eco system is paramount. Our tour of the centre teaches us about the importance of bees locally, their medicinal qualities and we get to see their hives, and taste and buy quality stingless bee honey. There is a walkway and butterfly garden where many of the forest butterfly species come to feed.
