In 2019 we started The Kiboriani Mountain range Reforestation and Beekeeping Project aiming at improving people’s livelihoods and climate change resilience through restoration of farm and pastoral land, and scaling up forest friendly economic activities, in particular beekeeping which would encourage conserving Kiboriani forests.

We distributed over 300 beehives to best performing farmers in Kisiki Hai. Two years later, we are happy to see that our vision is been fulfilled, farmers have started to harvest honey from the beehives, this plays a great role in improving their livelihoods.

Some facts about bees

What are bees most famous for? Delicious honey! But did you know they produce honey as food stores for the hive during winter? Luckily for us, these efficient little workers produce 2-3 times more honey than they need, so we get to enjoy the tasty treat, too!

Honey bees are super-important pollinators for flowers, fruits and vegetables. This means that they help other plants grow! Bees transfer pollen between the male and female parts, allowing plants to grow seeds and fruits.
