11th Caribbean Beekeepers Congress
It was great to be in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the backdrop for a number of scenes for the infamous Disney trilogy “Pirates of the Caribbean”. We had a packed four-day schedule which started with an opening ceremony on the afternoon of the 30th October. Our hosts, the Ministry of Agriculture and the SVG Beekeepers Association, pulled off a wonderful ceremony despite the uncooperative weather.
