This guide provides information for: Beekeepers - to ensure the presence of plants providing nectar and pollen year round and plants useful for beekeeping, such as making and baiting hives, and using in smokers. Farmers – so that they can plant species that will encourage bees and also pollinate their crops. WRUAs and CFAs – to optimize their water basins and community forests for beekeeping and to ensure pollination. Researchers, NGOs and service providers – researching or promoting water-wise agroforestry, agriculture and apiculture. Nursery owners – so they can grow seedlings of interest to beekeepers and farmers. Introduction to the MaMaSe Project The Mau Mara Serengeti Sustainable Water initiative (MaMaSe) aims to improve water safety and security in the Mara River Basin to support structural poverty reduction, sustainable economic growth and conservation of the Basin’s ecosystems. In this four year programme which started in 2014, the people and institutions in the basin have been supported in a process of structural change, promoting water-wise economic development that lifts people out of poverty and sets them on a sustainable path to improved well-being and self-reliance. The Initiative, which is financially supported by the Netherlands Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, consists of a broad-based public private partnership including international and Kenyan government agencies, civil society, private sector, NGOs, and knowledge institutions. It is led by UNESCO-IHE and executed together with partners including Wageningen University and Research, SNV, WWF Kenya, Mara Farming, Mara River Users Association, Egerton University, Water Resources Management Authority, Deltares, Waterschap Brabantse Delta and ITC Twente. These partners envision a basin where: Capable government institutions develop effective river basin management strategies for inclusive green growth through participatory processes. Water resources are regulated for the benefit of people and ecosystems. Basin residents prosper from economic activities that are financially profitable, environmentally sustainable, and well aligned with the basin water management strategy. Innovative agricultural practices and sustainable tourism facilities are promoted. Key forest and savannah ecosystems are protected or restored and wildlife has access to habitats and water resources needed at different times of the year and especially during drought years. These interconnected public, private, and environmental elements of the basin serve as a model of sustainability for surrounding basins, with transferrable tools and approaches. 1 Market driven forest conservation initiatives in the Upper Mara basin The Mara River ecosystem is among the largest water catchments in Kenya, supporting over 1.4 million people in Kenya and Tanzania. Water resources in the Mara River basin are under continued threat of degradation owing to increased human activities, especially agricultural production, of both crops and livestock, which threaten the sustainability of springs, streams and rivers in the basin. Agriculture can impact water resources by contributing to deforestation as forests are cleared for farmland, and agrochemical residues end up in water bodies. Conservation is a difficult sell to farmers; especially in the upper Mara basin which receives adequate rainfall all year round. The upper Mara River basin is approximately 1500 km2 spanning from Nakuru through Bomet and Narok Counties,

  • Calodendrum Capense Cape Chestnut
    Plant of the Week Calodendrum capense Cape Chestnut This lovely, flowering tree, Calodendrum capense, is yet another African plant which has found its way into gardens around the world. The Cape Chestnut, in spite of its name, is not related to European Chestnuts which belong in the Oak and Beech family (Fagaceae). In fact, it belongs in the Rutaceae, so is closely related to Citrus, Boronia, Eriostemon and many important Australian rainforest trees, such as Australian Teak – Flindersia australis. And the Cape Chestnut doesn’t just grow in South Africa: it is widespread through countries of eastern Africa, extending into the equatorial highlands of Kenya1. It is said that when botanist Carl Peter Thunberg, known as the “father of South African Botany”, first sighted the tree in 1772, he was so excited that he used his gun to shoot down branches so that he could examine the flowers at close hand1. In Sydney, Cape Chestnuts flower from November through to December. This is the time when we also enjoy the scarlet flowers of Illawarra Flame Trees, the soft mauve blue of Jacaranda and the golden spires of Silky Oaks. Look for clouds of soft, pink flowers on trees with rounded crowns, often in older suburbs of Sydney. Don’t forget too, that a trip on a Sydney Harbour Ferry, to Watsons Bay, Manly or to Parramatta, will give you wonderful views of these beautiful summer flowering trees. 1 Alice Notten, Kirstenbosch National Botanic Garden: http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantcd/calodendcape.htm Text and photographs: Alison Downing & Kevin Downing, 11.xii.2011, Downing Herbarium, Department of Biological Sciences .

The essential oil of black pepper fruits has shown a myriad of biological activities and is a commercially important commodity. In this work, five black pepper essential oils from eastern coastal region of Madagascar and six black pepper essential oils from the Amazon region of Brazil were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The major components of the essential oils were α-pinene, sabinene, β-pinene, δ-3-carene, limonene, and β-caryophyllene. A comparison of the Madagascar and Brazilian essential oils with black pepper essential oils from various geographical regions reported in the literature was carried out. A hierarchical cluster analysis using the data obtained in this study and those reported in the literature revealed four clearly defined clusters based on the relative concentrations of the major components.

They are native to Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. Guavas are now cultivated and naturalized throughout the tropics and subtropics in Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, subtropical regions of North America, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia and Spain. Guava 2 Types The most frequently eaten species, and the one often simply referred to as "the guava", is the Apple Guava (Psidium guajava).Wikipedia:Citation needed. Guavas are typical Myrtoideae, with tough dark leaves that are opposite, simple, elliptic to ovate and 5–15 centimetres (2.0–5.9 in) long. The flowers are white, with five petals and numerous stamens. The genera Accara and Feijoa (= Acca, Pineapple Guava) were formerly included in Psidium.Wikipedia:Citation needed Apple Guava (Psidium guajava) flower Common names The term "guava" appears to derive from Arawak guayabo "guava tree", via the Spanish guayaba.
