Products

Honey

Honey Care Africa’s products include honey. We processes, pack and distribute various types of honey. Honey classification is based on the floral source of nectar from which it was made. Honey from one type of flower nectar is monofloral. The one from the nectar of many types of flowers is polyfloral, or blended after collection. Shop for Honey Here

Beekeeping Equipment

Beekeeping/ apiculture is the care and management of honey bees in man made hives for production of honey and other bee products.

It is one of the most environmentally friendly activities available to man.

Our Strength

Honey Care Africa offers and distributes the best quality pure and natural honey. A healthy product for families and individuals.

We enhance livelihoods by sourcing honey from smallholder beekeepers, empowering women and conserving the environment. This provides opportunities for greater returns: socially, economically, and environmentally.

Background and History

Honey Care Africa started its operations in the year 2000 as an N.G.O. with the aim of connecting environment conservation and supporting rural farmers involved in beekeeping. The company would offer hives, beekeeping equipment and training in beekeeping. It would offer this equipment on a loan arrangement in conjunction with K.I.V.A. Honey Care ultimately provided a ready market by purchasing their honey at fair trade prices. Indeed, Honey Care Africa has a rich history as a pioneer in the honey industry in Africa and enterprise in general. We look to an exciting future as we lead Africa in the global honey and healthy snacks market.

Our Story

Honey Care Africa understands that to enhance the livelihoods of smallholder beekeepers, it has to create financial value. This means improving social conditions in a way that supports the environment instead of exploit it.

We have committed ourselves to enhancing livelihoods and preserving the environment. Our emphasis is on smallholder farmers, women , the environment and healthy living.

Honey Care Africa supports smallholder farmers involved in beekeeping by sourcing honey from them at fair trade prices. It provides beekeeping equipment and offer training on modern beekeeping at affordable prices.
We promote women enterprise by contracting women honey aggregators. These women work directly with smallholder beekeepers. Honey Care Africa also gives priority to women in its company operations. Seventy percent of staff employed are women.
Honey Care Africa sensitizes smallholder farmers and the public in general on how beekeeping conserves the environment. Bees use pollen and nectar from various plant flowers to make honey. This enables plant pollination which promotes vegetative reproduction and growth.

Theory of Change
Many smallholder farmers engage in poor farming methods and lack an assured market for their products. This has condemned many of them to a vicious cycle of poverty.
The African patriarchal family setting exposes women and girls in these worrisome livelihoods.
Also, concerns have also been raised by public health authorities in Kenya on lack of essential macro-nutrients in conventional foods for certain age groups and gender.
Honey Care believes that impact investing by enhancing the livelihoods of smallholder farmers can tremendously change this.
