00:00Meet Diakongo's queen of bees.
00:02She's calming the bees with the smoker with a new method.
00:06The smoke used to come from burning wood,
00:08but Dibora switched to cow dung, more eco-friendly.
00:11Traditional methods also led to destroy bee colonies when honey was harvested.
00:16To protect the environment, Dibora has trained over 1,000 locals on sustainable beekeeping.
00:22Many of them are women, challenging cultural myths that bar them from joining.
00:27There are now 20,000 beekeepers and 23,000 hives in Nordkivu alone.
00:32The honey produced provides a stable income for many families here.
00:37A hive at a time, Dibora is buzzing the community with hope and resilience.
