Bee keeping

Modern bee keeping (apiculture) can be a profitable venture. To make it commercially viable twenty (20) hives and above is recommended. It is one of the best ways to utilize idle land. 

In Kenya, both the Langstroth and Kenya top bar hive are popular with modern bee keepers. However, each has its advantages over the other with the KTBH being slightly more advantageous for apiculture.

 

The products are as follows:

  • Honey

  • Royal Jelly

  • Propolis

  • Bee venom

  • Bee pollen

  • Bees wax

The venture is contract based for direct purchase of honey and by-products for up to 5 years. This includes free hives monitoring for 1 year at any location in Kenya.

Flowers next to your apairy or bee keeping area are important for quality and consistent honey production. Grow these as annuals or perennials. Fruit trees or other crops that produce flowers work well in addition to water/ water source.
