Answer:

Prohibition Historical Context

Explanation:

The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution–which banned the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxicating liquors–ushered in a period in American history known as Prohibition. Prohibition was ratified by the states on January 16, 1919 and officially went into effect on January 17, 1920, with the passage of the Volstead Act. Despite the new legislation, Prohibition was difficult to enforce. The increase of the illegal production and sale of liquor (known as “bootlegging”), the proliferation of speakeasies (illegal drinking spots) and the accompanying rise in gang violence and other crimes led to waning support for Prohibition by the end of the 1920s. In early 1933, Congress adopted a resolution proposing a 21st Amendment to the Constitution that would repeal the 18th. The 21st Amendment was ratified on December 5, 1933, ending Prohibition.

omeli [17]

On Principe, there are now efforts to stop people from burning the nests of bees to get honey.

On Principe, people traditionally extract honey by:

  • Burning the nests of bees
  • Waiting for the bees to die and then taking the honey

Recently, thanks to information campaigns and education, people on the island have started to realize that this practice is very destructive to the environment because bees are very important for pollination.

They have now began to go into beekeeping which is more sustainable than simply burning nests.

We can therefore conclude that people in Principe are moving on from the very controversial practice of burning bees to get honey.
