documents needed for the exportation of bee honey, as well as other relevant products to different countries over the seas.<br /><br />Also, the stakeholders in the bee honey exportation sector have underscored the need for the government to mull over how to empower the local producers and processors of bee honey and its relative products to meet the recommended standards in the world market.<br /><br /><br /><a

/></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />In his exclusive interview to this publication, the Managing Director of the Tanzania International Bee Co Ltd, Musiba Paul Kitema expressed that the country was producing the best honey, in surpass to all others across the globe, but there are a number of setbacks that refrains the country’s honey to penetrate effectively into the world market.<br /><br />For instance, he unveiled, there’s no laboratory for the conduction of the microplastics parameter test of the honey, the vital test which is needed in order to stand a professional chance to export honey into the outside countries.<br /><br />"In order to export bee honey, the international standards requires all honey to be tested in terms of contamination of plastics materials (particles), whereby in case of such contamination, the exported honey is being rejected, destroyed or returned home, depending on the wisdom of the receiver company," he informed.<br /><br />To that end, he noted that due to absence of such a crucial facility in the country, most of the honey dealers and processors are being ‘arm-twisted’ to export their products, basing on the facts that the Tanzanian’s honey processors are packaging their products in plastic containers, contrary to those in other countries who are packaging their products in the smart glass containers.<br /><br /><br /><a

/></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Moreover, Kitema, the managing director of the country’s leading exporters of bee honey said it would be prudent for the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism to partner with its relevant authorities to help the exporters to meet the set international standards, including sugar content in the honey.<br /><br />“As per the set international standards, in the Europe market, honey requires to have a sugar content of around 50 percent and below, but most home honey is around 60 percent,” he informed.<br /><br />Together with that, he said the other challenge is the accessibility of the certificates and other necessary documents needed in exportation of honey and its products.<br /><br /><br /><a

/></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />“In order to export honey, you must possess a number of basic and mandatory certificates, include Veterinary certificate, Phytosanitary certificate, Radioactive analysis certificate, EU Health certificate, Sanitary certificate, Rex number for EU registered exporters, Export permit, HACCP certificate and Certificate of origin,” he detailed.<br /><br />And Kitema added that the said certificates and permits are being issued by different ministries and authorities, and in an analogue system, the unfriendly move which poses a lot of complications towards the stakeholders.<br /><br /> “The government must mull over how professional to set up a one-stop facility through which all of the needed certificates and documents will be available under the same roof, this will fast-track the processes for the issuance of the vital honey exportation papers, and thus, allowing the country to fetch lucrative foreign gains from the sector,” he urged.<br /><br

the country, and it keeps on getting more tenders.<br /><br />Recently, the company managed to export at least 25 tons of honey to the UK through Netherlands.<br /><br />“We have a contract to annually exporting a total of 150 tons of honey abroad and we’re exporting it in different phases,” he expressed.<br /><br />He informed that, the home-based honey, especially those from Katavi, Kilimanjaro and Manyara was attracting a huge market abroad, saying what is needed is efforts to further expose and advertise the products across the world.<br /><br /><br /><a

Designated by the United Nations, World Bee Day seeks to inform and educate people about honey bees and their impact on our biodiversity. For example, it is estimated that one out of every three mouthfuls of food we eat depends on honey bees and the pollination process. But honey bees are facing extinction, with a 2021 report by the Center for Biological Diversity and the Bombus Pollinators Association of Law Students finding that American honey bees had decreased by some 89 percent. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbOMJPkp7lOF-UIgP0VK6XvX5gDmLQg-fe9IpofTE7pVvlPD_P7ClKt_xz6_2dqKQhvV4-9-CRV6loRZ3ejAF5_FsOTFlNjhj3Yyh4KiGEMKU9ZIAsPpOED16OPlRjad1m7eYtiP3gbodKAHIisFnTJtr_ckY6taAE5Dl6GXwQi2w2Gwteex2KfI2E02Q/s600/mizinga%20ORG.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbOMJPkp7lOF-UIgP0VK6XvX5gDmLQg-fe9IpofTE7pVvlPD_P7ClKt_xz6_2dqKQhvV4-9-CRV6loRZ3ejAF5_FsOTFlNjhj3Yyh4KiGEMKU9ZIAsPpOED16OPlRjad1m7eYtiP3gbodKAHIisFnTJtr_ckY6taAE5Dl6GXwQi2w2Gwteex2KfI2E02Q/w640-h480/mizinga%20ORG.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /> World Bee Day is a day of awareness about the harmful effects of pesticides, climate change, and habitat loss on honey bees - and what we can do to reverse this.<br /><br />World Bee Day 2024 takes place on Saturday, May 20. May 20 was chosen as World Bee Day by the United Nations in honor of the birthday of Anton Janša, the pioneer of beekeeping in the 18th century.<br /><br />HISTORY OF WORLD BEE DAY<br /><br />World Bee Day is a relatively recent holiday. This is in response to the ongoing climate change crisis, with more bee species than ever before being reported to be facing extinction in the past 10 years. As a result, the committee of Slovenia appealed to the United Nations in 2017 to honor World Bee Day. In December of the same year, the United Nations approved the proposal, naming May 20 as International World Bee Day, with the first event taking place in 2018. In 2024, World Bee Day will celebrate its fifth anniversary.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXqMOugPRy4DjB7nEH09Mr5KD7i5gohRPtrEp1uic2HcIC2zqpX4CX7RsmiC6UXiZUT7KCbVxYECzsbSkaySsAVw7VPq59oSMt-cdl2TYISYw0W1dyh1bSXDKzbi6k8dT7R0aJ0Mrq62T40geET3vsMzlss0-HVIzUv5ufPlNjwiQ2584apEzS_UMmbDU/s1280/NYUUUU.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXqMOugPRy4DjB7nEH09Mr5KD7i5gohRPtrEp1uic2HcIC2zqpX4CX7RsmiC6UXiZUT7KCbVxYECzsbSkaySsAVw7VPq59oSMt-cdl2TYISYw0W1dyh1bSXDKzbi6k8dT7R0aJ0Mrq62T40geET3vsMzlss0-HVIzUv5ufPlNjwiQ2584apEzS_UMmbDU/w640-h428/NYUUUU.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />FIVE WORLD BEE DAY FACTS YOU WON’T “BELIEVE!”<br /><br />Bees are the most important pollinator in the world and have been for centuries. But here are some interesting facts you may not know about these winged creatures:<br /><br />1. The average honey bee will only make around 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in its entire lifetime.<br /><br />2. A single bee visits 50 to 100 flowers on each pollination trip.<br /><br />3. Almost 75 percent of the crops grown in the world rely on honey bee pollination.<br /><br />4. Bees have four wings!<br /><br />5. There are over 25,000 different species of bee - and many of them can’t even sting!<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /></span><br /> </div>

In 2022, an estimated 2.2 million people in the Western Pacific Region were living with HIV. Each of these people, their families and the organizations of communities living with, at risk of, or affected by the disease are shaping the HIV response. <br /><br />World AIDS Day 2023, under the theme, “Let communities lead”, is an opportunity to reflect on the progress made to date, to raise awareness about the challenges that remain to achieve the goals of ending AIDS by 2030 and to mobilize all stakeholders to jointly redouble efforts to ensure the success of the HIV response. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTOG5WbRaHu9obJ6zDS3pBKXMXpyBbscts8S0z_siZx0RyhheQ7j1ArcBWBeqMi6Ob5LlN-146NvP7LM3sHePyapzxSOVwfOkH6WBlKwbMU1G3v20SsfbYgBB3i6IAIpGIIghXwAGmkKgzBg1JubxGI_30V66bVlNLUTkHSkMz5b8DNcspUdqd0TE-_Ok/s1674/AIDS%203.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTOG5WbRaHu9obJ6zDS3pBKXMXpyBbscts8S0z_siZx0RyhheQ7j1ArcBWBeqMi6Ob5LlN-146NvP7LM3sHePyapzxSOVwfOkH6WBlKwbMU1G3v20SsfbYgBB3i6IAIpGIIghXwAGmkKgzBg1JubxGI_30V66bVlNLUTkHSkMz5b8DNcspUdqd0TE-_Ok/w640-h456/AIDS%203.jpg" /></a><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />People living with HIV and community health workers play pivotal roles in driving and enhancing the HIV response, as well as global health at large – including the quick response to mpox. Communities connect people with person-centred public health services, build trust, innovate, monitor implementation of policies and services, and hold health providers accountable.<br /><br />Today, many of the communities are being held back in their leadership due to funding shortages, policy and regulatory hurdles, capacity constraints, and crackdowns on the human rights of marginalized communities, among others. Fully funding community advocates and health workers is essential to the ultimate goal of ending AIDS. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU7TR_iNR4LsQWRzxS9XIFE_T5F2iNwKtQx9cm0ljPwrR691P7RqbUFx7ZYGAmVWPMoJyi5R4BugXKu7_brGtVTxCmDYWDYjEmZr1UTihzB1V9qGrCAXD8bIl7OaHyOp7Xj1OMtIpv4RHypJbX9bD_Ek2pTc_N_uWbx3xlRg6O2IWPFBAJXrCDpn5JlWY/s1732/AIDS%201.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU7TR_iNR4LsQWRzxS9XIFE_T5F2iNwKtQx9cm0ljPwrR691P7RqbUFx7ZYGAmVWPMoJyi5R4BugXKu7_brGtVTxCmDYWDYjEmZr1UTihzB1V9qGrCAXD8bIl7OaHyOp7Xj1OMtIpv4RHypJbX9bD_Ek2pTc_N_uWbx3xlRg6O2IWPFBAJXrCDpn5JlWY/w640-h426/AIDS%201.jpg" /></a><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This World AIDS Day is more than a celebration of the achievements of communities; it is a call to action to enable and support communities in their leadership roles. <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-bVKui3GiYcPz6gpFer2ZZqU6z90_1bPAMGNoX3YN2AcoM6ZkAJzgCUVga1yQ-wKwt7fD4ucKllKuqzF8rOialxEHOaYM1MaSsnzPKkETtaoCWTzMyG6i7p3CeuZEQyrLLd7D-Tya5bT36a6Ew_2Tk_7gJm7Pxrsj3xmPMaUPXGyYMDtBY96MAJYMn5U/s1732/AIDS%202.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-bVKui3GiYcPz6gpFer2ZZqU6z90_1bPAMGNoX3YN2AcoM6ZkAJzgCUVga1yQ-wKwt7fD4ucKllKuqzF8rOialxEHOaYM1MaSsnzPKkETtaoCWTzMyG6i7p3CeuZEQyrLLd7D-Tya5bT36a6Ew_2Tk_7gJm7Pxrsj3xmPMaUPXGyYMDtBY96MAJYMn5U/w640-h426/AIDS%202.jpg" /></a></span><br />
