The caption may have confused you, but indeed, these are bees that are part of a beekeeping project at the Chimpanzee Conservation Center in Guinea. Tradition honey harvesting in the region can cause deforestation, and a portion of the profits from the honey of these sustainably kept bees is dedicated to chimpanzee conservation.
