    Om programmet

    In this program the volunteer will learn how to manage native bees and create artificial homes for them. Part of the work includes pleasant trails in the woods. In managing beehives, the volunteer will learn how to feed the bees to keep them healthy, how to collect honey (November to March), and how to protect beehives under attack.  

    We have appropriate beekeeping cloth/protection to provide you. Although they do not sting, we do not want them to enter our nose. 



    In a 18 hours a week program we will give freedom to our volunteer to choose to work 4 or 5 days a week.

    Cultivating native stingless bees  is an essential activity in many ways:
    - It supports our reforestation program, since we have a vast area recently reforested and  young trees do not have hollows to host beehives inside. The young trees need bees for pollination and bees need homes to increase their population and respond to the increasing demand of young trees.
    - The increasing pollination by our cultivated native bees will provide more fruits and seeds to feed the  fauna. A  a more rich and abundant fauna will protect many endangered species. Furthermore, many animals have important roles in  planting seeds and spreading  seeds, strengthening the forest. 
    - It provides an income to our project much in need of resources to keep going. This income will come from selling honey in a very sustainable way with the health of the beehives at sight. In the same way bees takes what exceeds from plants (nectar) we only take what exceeds their daily needs. We constantly provide them food (nectar and pollen) by planting flowers for them and making syrups when needed.

    Tjänster på plats

    These fees will help us to provide you organic healthy whole food plant based ingredients for your meal. We expect volunteers to prepare their own meal that will be done in a collaborative kitchen. I am a celiac and because of it, the kitchen  is gluten free. We will eat local  meals,i.e., with ingredients extracted from the land or nearby organic producers. We will buy plenty of nut, and rich ingredients. I am growing mushrooms that will be available in our meals. 


    Also these fees will pay our costs hosting a volunteer (wifi, energy, gas, working tools) and it will allow us to buy more  trees  and plant in our land for you to carbon neutralize your travel to Brazil.  

    A percentual of your contribution will be for us to improve our accommodations to receive volunteers and support our work in environmental preservation.  

     

    We also provide environment for your home office, so that you can continue your work with very little living expenses and generate money for your future travels. 

    These fees include  trips on Friday noon to weekends in Rio de Janeiro city, returning Monday early morning to fazenda São Marcos. Every Friday I do delivery of organic produce in Rio de Janeiro city and stay with my wife and son and return to Fazenda São Marcos on Sunday evening or Monday morning,

    We do not pick you up on airport, but on Sundays evening or Mondays mornings I can pick you up at a hostel in Rio de Janeiro or airport on the way to Fazenda São Marcos. 

    If you arrive any day other than Sunday or Monday, you can take a uber/taxi to Rio's road station and take a bus to Cachoeiras De Macacu and I pick you up there, or you can get to visit Rio de Janeiro and travel with me in the next return trip to Fazenda São Marcos.
