The beekeeper's perseverance pays off in the hive.

After cultivating the mangrove forest at Le Morne, six local women received beekeeping training to produce mangrove honey. Initially announced in April 2025, this project has since transitioned to wildflower honey production, with the women celebrating their first harvest last March.

According to Michael Lafrance, who trained the new beekeepers, the mangrove area is insufficient for the bees. He noted, “Our mangroves are not extensive like those in Madagascar, and their flowering coincides with other local plants, leading bees to forage elsewhere.” Due to permit issues, beehives were not allowed in the mangrove forest, so the beekeepers are now operating in Case Noyale.
