In Balakasi Village, T/A Jalasi in Mangochi District, there is one McComic Mthyola Phiri who has climbed the economic rader through Beekeeping. Phiri, alongside other members formed Lingamasa Beekeeping Club in 2018. They received 36 Langstroth Hives which raised their expectations as a club. However, 2 years later, the club still had nothing to show, due to several factors, with the major factor being vandalism and theft. Their hives, during harvesting periods were being vandalized and honey stolen. This led to most of the members being discouraged from continuing with the program. It is for this reason that McComic stood out as a hero in the club, with his “never give up” attitude. He took it upon himself with just 2 other members to still push for repairs of the vandalized hives in order to push on. McComic also joined the Extension Staff including the Project Coordinator to encourage the club members not to give up. These efforts bore fruits as from 2021 season, Lingamasa Club started harvesting and selling honey to African Parks. In 2022, their honey sales increased by 60% from 97 kgs to 144kgs. This encouraged the members to work even harder to realize more income from honey. As for McComic, he had to purchase some more 6 personal hives from his share. As already with high interest in Beekeeping, Mccomic managed his hives very well and constantly sought technical advice from the HwH/AP Extension team. In 2023 season, Lingamasa club has increased its honey harvest by 81% from 144 kgs to 260 kgs. A total of MK 975,000 was realised as a club. However, McComic also harvested on his own 68 kgs of honey that gave him extra K255,000. Through proceeds from honey sales and farming, in the past 3 years, McComic has built an iron sheets thatched house, as opposed to the grass thatched house he used to live in before the project came in. And recently McComic has bought a new motorcycle for his mobility, as opposed to the bicycle which he was using before the HWH Project came in.
