Ethiopia: Depending on different classifications, there are three to five climate zones. The widely approved climate zones are: "Kolla" (hot zone; 1500 - 1800 m altitude) with an average temperature of 26 °C and an average rainfall of 300 - 700 mm, the flowering period is known to be short and therefore the honey bees are very productive as well as aggressive; "Woina-Dega" (cold-warm zone; 1,800 - 2,400 m altitude) with an average temperature of 22 °C and an average rainfall of 700 - 1,000 mm) and "Dega" (cold zone; 2,400 - 3,500 m altitude), where flowering occurs throughout the year, with an average temperature of 16 °C and an average rainfall of 1,000 - 1,200 mm. [1] [2] [3]. The remaining climate zones are: "Bereha" (<1,500 m altitude) with an average temperature of >26 °C and an average rainfall of <300 mm and "Worech" (>3,500 m altitude) with an average temperature of 12 °C and an average rainfall of 1,200 - 1,500 mm). While the highlands of Ethiopia are widely populated, the colder lowland region is only sparsely populated by nomadic and semi-nomadic herdsmen. [4] Winds, originating from over the Atlantic Ocean mark seasonal rainy periods resulting in most of its rainfall occurring in the highlands (mid-June to mid-September), as well as short periods of light rains. The second main rainy season occurs in April and May. [5]
