The Ukulima Bora, Maisha Bora initiative has mobilised 400 farmers in Chyullu and Tsavo’s areas to build resilience and improve socio-economic standards through apiculture. The project enhances traditional beekeeping by upgrading the Chyullu Honey Processors, training farmers, and engaging young people in sustainable hive production. Planned activities include equipping the honey aggregation centre with efficient tools, solarising power systems, and introducing a bio-waste recycling unit to produce organic manure. Honey production is projected to increase by 35%, supported by improved practices, modern equipment, and online marketing. The project will optimise profits and boost bee health through responsible farming.
