Bringing butterflies to your garden
Workshops are held anywhere in Africa by members of SABBA. Workshops have been presented as early as 2003 to 2026. These workshops are designed to be able to assist local butterfly breeders of that community with problem solving solutions. Other workshops are held which aim to assist new breeders in getting started, where many questions may be asked and answered. At these workshops we present new discoveries of breeding techniques and easier ways to combat parasites. Discussions of income and expenditures are addressed, while tailor made methods of working with butterflies are implemented. (See AGRI TV inserts in 2010 – with an attendance of 25 people. Also in attendance was the AGRI TV film crew and Landbou Sake TV film crew which aired the program for several weeks from June 2012 to 2013 on various TV channels such as (SABC2) Agri TV, Landbou Sake, KYKNET and others).
Q&A
We present workshops wherever necessary and if and when there is a demand and a need.
Arranging a workshop is one of the best ways for any interested person wanting to get involved in and being part of the butterfly industry. I would suggest that you establish how many people you can get to attend the workshop, the costs involved and if you are satisfied, you can contact us on info@sabba.co.za.
It all depends on how many people will attend the workshop intended. For an e.g. Lets say there are 12 people who would like to participate. That would be around R750.00 per person for three consecutive days. Excluding the venue you wish to hold it at.
At the workshop we will present the farming methods that should be adopted. We will also present the working of a Butterfly Sanctuary. We will show you the process from when the butterflies lay their eggs, right through their life cycle to when they are butterflies and ready for the market. The entire presentation will be shown live wherever possible.
