Evidence

Peer-reviewed mixed-methods survey

Geography

Meru District, Tanzania

System

Agroforestry, bee-flora resources and working lands

## WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS

A survey of 240 beekeepers and key informants found 97.9% could recognize bee flora, with 24 plants named; traditional hives and limited post-harvest labeling or formal training persisted. The work separates ecological knowledge from market conditions needed for value realization.

## WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ

Successful pollinator-linked livelihoods require forage continuity and accessible support, processing and markets; knowledge alone is not the barrier.

## CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY

Survey and self-reported practices do not establish measured honey quality, pollinator population effects or causal impacts of training.
