Bees for Development - welcome

Bees for Development promotes simple, sustainable beekeeping. We help people living in poor and remote areas of the world to produce honey and beeswax, protect local biodiversity and keep bees healthy.

Bees for Development Trust raises awareness about the value of beekeeping in raising people out of poverty. With hives handmade from local materials, bees can provide nourishment for a family and income to support schooling and buy medicines. Working with beekeepers throughout the world, Bees for Development ensures a sustainable future for bees, people and our environment.
