We have completed the first edition of the ELIKYA Beekeeping Curriculum! There will likely be many more editions to come as it goes through more editing by John and as it is added to. Parts of it will probably be removed as the inevitable result of transferring practical instruction from a Minnesota apiary to a project in the middle of Africa. The curriculum still needs to be translated, first into French and then into Lingala as well. As non-native Lingala speakers, this is not a job for us. I will be working with Jonathon, one of the students in the class last month, to get the French curriculum squared away. The curriculum has been run through Google Translate already but it remains to be seen how well the program fared with it. So I will be visiting Jonathon soon with a fresh cahier (notebook) and a red pen.
