After replanting and maintaining the mangrove at Morne, six local women have trained in beekeeping to produce mangrove honey. Initially announced in April 2025, this project has since expanded to include the production of wildflower honey, with the first harvest taking place last March, bringing them pride and joy!

According to Michael Lafrance, who trained and equipped the new beekeepers, the mangrove area is insufficient for the industrious bees. He noted, "We don't have vast mangrove expanses like in Madagascar. Our areas are too small, and since the flowering of the mangroves coincides with other local plants, the bees will inevitably forage elsewhere."
