From Teaching to Bee keeping: Agriculture should not be left to women alone
Mr. Wagutu of Butalejja used to be a teacher/head teacher in one of the primary schools in the district. Little did he know that one he would be repeating from farming and particularly bee keeping.
He retired from that job more than a year back and decided to attend forums and forums with his wife and other women in the area. From one of those, he was able to learn bee keeping and decided to try it out.By now,even if the wife is engaged in other farming activities, he mainly feed the family on bee keeping.
He says most men in Uganda do not attend such meetings as they think farming is for women. Also most teachers under look farming and end up suffering with the little pay they get. He also says that had he not joined such groups, he thinks he would be suffering with no food to put on the table as many other men do.
