President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah says World Bee Day must serve as an opportunity to educate people, especially the youth, on the importance of bees and the growing opportunities within sustainable beekeeping. 

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform says there are no plans to import any bees into the country from South Africa.

Fifteen Kunene residents were trained in beekeeping, where they were introduced to modern beekeeping practices and techniques for sustainable honey production.
