Putting beekeeping skills into more hands

Hive for Development is our initiative to train and equip more people with practical beekeeping skills, create sustainable livelihood opportunities and strengthen the environments that support bees, crops and communities.

We work with individuals, households, youth and women's groups, and community organisations to help develop productive beekeeping enterprises. With the right support, participants can gain the skills, equipment and guidance needed to establish apiaries and connect their production to markets.

Why it matters

Invest in skills. Create opportunity. Protect the environment.

Across many communities, beekeeping remains an underdeveloped opportunity. People need the knowledge, equipment and support to turn it into productive livelihoods, while bees and the ecosystems they depend on need greater protection.

Hive for Development brings these priorities together. With the right support, we can train more people, equip them to become productive beekeepers, expand sustainable apiaries and encourage the protection of trees and pollinator habitats.

Our goal

Building a generation of skilled beekeepers

Hive for Development aims to train and equip more people with practical beekeeping skills, enabling individuals and communities to build sustainable livelihoods while protecting the trees, forage and pollinators that sustain our ecosystems. By combining knowledge, opportunity and environmental stewardship, we are working to grow a stronger and more sustainable beekeeping sector across Africa.
