Beekeeping Education and Experience Program
Bees: Entomology, Apiaries, and Business Development
BEEP gives young people hands-on experience in science, cottage industries and business, all through the world of bees. Built for schools in Nigeria and around the world.
About the program
Science, enterprise and leadership, learned at the hive.
Participants explore the entomology of bees, why they matter, and the ecosystems they support. They learn how to harvest honey and turn it into goods to sell.
Along the way they build leadership and management skills, and form relationships with peers, mentors and mentees.

Who's behind BEEP
Presented by Daniel Oduntan, owner of Bee-Craft Consult
Adesina Daniel Oduntan is a beekeeper with 33 years of experience, an entomologist and author, and a German-trained queen bee breeder and apitherapist. He has received awards from both the Federal and State governments of Nigeria.
Bringing beekeeping into schools is not new for him. In 2001, his Institute of Vocational Bee-Craft ran a Beekeeping Extension Education Program for secondary schools across Ogun, Oyo and Osun States, giving students an “I can do” mentality for self-reliance and job creation. BEEP builds on that work.
