African Bee Ecology Network (ABEN) is a federally incorporated Canadian not-for-profit organization working at the intersection of science, conservation, and sustainable enterprise. We are committed to advancing environmentally responsible beekeeping practices and strengthening pollinator ecosystems across Africa.
Through research partnerships, habitat restoration, capacity-building programs, and international collaboration between Canada and Africa, ABEN supports smallholder beekeepers and promotes inclusive participation in environmental innovation. We believe pollinator protection is not only an environmental priority — it is a social and economic opportunity.
