Day 26: Wabongo's Farm

This morning we went to Wabongo's farm to finish extending his fence. Once we had put up the dummy hives and roofs we spoke to Wabongo for a while and told him that we had bought some of his honey.

Laura and Tanya were attempting to make wax with 2 of the locals. Unfortunately despite several hours of perseverance their efforts were in vain.

Emma updated the map of Wabongo's farm for the elephant monitoring sheets, which record the number of elephants entering a farm, their route and the amount of damage that they do.

Lauren helped with updating the beehive records and data processing.

Victoria made a path for the permaculture garden and went through camera trap footage.

Night work was very quick this evening and Lauren and Chris helped to move two hives to more suitable areas.

We're all quite sad that our time at camp is coming to an end, and we're determined to make our last day count!
