A beekeeping school
As a true "Ilanga Academy," we organize training courses to learn, supplement, and enhance the essential knowledge required for the noble profession of beekeeping.
Become a beekeeper with Ilanga Nature
Ilanga Nature's training center offers comprehensive courses on modern beekeeping techniques. The creation of a bee school apiary allows beekeepers to professionalize, increase their productivity, and make beekeeping their main activity. The company also provides equipment and training on swarm multiplication.
The program includes training on hive maintenance, beekeeping, honey harvesting, and processing. It also teaches how to manage bee diseases and predators, such as varroa. The trainers at the center, selected from local and international experts, adhere to organic and sustainable beekeeping practices (under Ecocert control).
After the training, Ilanga supports beekeepers in the field with the help of recognized technicians and acquires their production for export.
The Ilanga Nature Academy has already trained hundreds of beekeepers and has helped improve the quality and quantity of honey produced in Fort-Dauphin. This project also promotes sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation by encouraging eco-friendly beekeeping practices.

Fort-Dauphin
Fort-Dauphin, also known as Tôlanaro, is a charming coastal town located in the Anosy region, in the southeast of Madagascar. This town is renowned for its pristine white sand beaches, spectacular cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean, and crystal-clear waters that attract visitors seeking natural beauty. Fort-Dauphin is also distinguished by its rich biodiversity, home to an exceptional fauna including lemurs, rare birds, and sea turtles, making the region a true haven for nature lovers.
In addition to its enchanting landscapes, Fort-Dauphin is famous for its production of high-quality honey. The honey from this region is considered one of the best in Madagascar, renowned for its unique, rich, and complex flavor, as well as its creamy texture. This honey is made from the nectar of flowers from the surrounding tropical forest and savannah, giving it an unmatched flavor profile that reflects the local floral diversity.
The beekeepers of Fort-Dauphin continue to use traditional methods in honey production, ensuring exceptional quality. Their hives are often placed in remote, hard-to-reach areas, allowing the bees to forage rare and precious nectars. This artisanal and environmentally respectful approach helps make Fort-Dauphin honey a unique product, highly sought after both for its exceptional flavor and its natural properties.
