We Have One Goal
Our Mission
To positively impact lives of beekeepers by provision of affordable beekeeping services for sustainable living and adaptation to climate change
Over the 2 years we have been in operation, we are working with over 200 farmers spanning 8 counties. Our farmers are practicing both traditional and modern beekeeping methods.
Beelove apiaries has identified modern beekeeping – technically referred to as apiculture – as a way for families to increase their income in a way that mitigates the toll of climate-related emergencies and doesn’t put further strain on the ecosystem. Beekeeping has the higher opportunity for immediate and long-term sustainable growth. Helping families adopt a few new practices of modern beekeeping has a high likelihood of leading to significantly increased incomes with minimal investment. Further, compared to other economic activities, beekeeping is less labour intensive and can be implemented in addition to other activities.
