From Kigali Rwanda, Desire Mushumba visited Tall Trees Bees in Humboldt County in 2014 to learn about Queen Rearing. He also gave a presentation on Rwandan beekeeping at Humboldt State University, experienced the Arcata Farmers' Market, met local farmers, and hiked around Bull Creek Flats at Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
