Kubu tribe trained to farm bees

AMBI: In order to foster self-sufficiency, Kubu tribe members living around Bukit Duabelas National Park in Sorolangun regency in Jambi province will be trained to farm honey bees.

Head of the regency's Forestry and Plantation Agency, Joko Susilo, said his office would train the tribe to farm the bees around their residence.

"The Kubu tribe relies on forest products like rattan and honey. We'll provide assistance to help them farm forest products instead of foraging for them."
