Creating Thriving Livelihoods and Protecting Natural Habitats through Beekeeping

Many communities across Kenya especially in the Rift Valley region depend on livestock for income generation. However, this practice makes them vulnerable to the impacts of climate change where periods of extreme weather and drought leave them without income. Beekeeping create thriving livelihoods by utilizing the available natural resources and the environment. As compared to livestock, it requires very little land, which also means that each member of the community especially Women & youth can get involved.

Beekeeping also encourages planting of flowers, shrubs, and trees which ultimately encourage environmental conservation. Studies have also shown that bee keeping has positively contributed to conservation by:

Improving the resilience of smallholder farmers by increasing the pollination success of many flowering plants
Generating income for beekeepers thus alleviating pressure on the locally available resources
Altering the way people view their local environment
