Scattered production
Most output comes from small apiaries with uneven volumes, which serious buyers cannot plan around.
Our answer: we train and organise partner beekeepers, then aggregate their output into consistent supply.
About Us
Who we are
An apiculture company linking African producers to global demand
Horizon Bee Africa is based in Nyeri, Kenya. We raise production and quality at farm level, buy what our partner beekeepers produce, and supply it to buyers in Africa and international markets. Our main focus is bee venom, a high-value product with growing demand in health and pharmaceutical research.
Our mission: to make African beekeeping a dependable, investable export industry that pays its producers fairly.
The problem we solve
Strong demand, weak supply chains
Africa has the climate, the forage and the bees. What holds the industry back is how production is organised, verified and financed.
Unverified quality
International buyers need product they can trust, with a clear origin and consistent handling.
Our answer: standard collection and handling methods, and product traced back to the apiary.
Limited investment
Beekeeping remains under-funded, so good producers cannot grow to meet demand.
Our answer: structured apiary and production projects that investors can support and follow.
