Local beekeepers lack access to the market, up-to-date knowledge and skills, and quality tools and equipment.
Therefore apiary as a business has not yet been embraced by the masses. Though, apiary has a proven potential to incentivise environmental conservation and create alternative income streams for the community.
Honey Centre in Moroto
Kara-Tunga Foundation – through the Karamoja Conservation Zones Initiative – has therefore partnered with Malaika Honey and is opening a Karamoja regional Honey Centre in Moroto town. Kara-Tunga Foundation has established a network of 200 farmers and will work with any other beekeeper in the region.
About Malaika Honey
Malaika Honey has been in Uganda for more than 10 years promoting beekeeping for business. This partnership will improve the positioning of local bee farmers by providing access to information and capacity building, quality apiary tools and equipment and a guaranteed market for apiary produce.
Other apiary products
As well as helping rural farmers turn their hives into a commercially viable business, we will encourage farmers to harvest Propolis – a mix of enzymes and plant resins created by the bees to clean the hive. Propolis has amazing antibiotic, antiseptic and antiviral properties. The Propolis is sold in pharmacies in Uganda and is now also being exported.
