Apiculture in to sweeten diversification toast

With the County Government steering diversification, another kind of sweetness comes in with the launch of bee farming.

The honey certainly sweetens a toast of deliberate plans by the County Government to provide farmers with alternative ways of earning a living.

The Department of Agriculture and Livestock launched the program that seeks to give out 180 hives for groups across all the wards.

Leading in the distribution of beehives to farmers in Kesses Sub County, Director in charge of Livestock Development, Simeon Langat, said that the County is venturing into apiculture as a way of diversification, a program the County has trained its focus on even as maize farming turns uncertain each year.

"This is one of the easiest, cheapest and very profitable farming that we have considered bringing to your doorstep," says Lang'at.

"We strongly believe you will definitely land on a sweet end through the honey you will harvest."

Mr Lang'at further noted that besides the training the farmers were given, the County will follow up for extension services and if need be, the farmers will be helped in harvesting the honey.

At the launch, each of the eight groups were awarded three Kenya Top Bar and Longstroth Hives.

Beekeeping is profitable through honey, Wax and propolis production.

Langat was flanked by Livestock officers Salina Katwa, Fanuel Anjela, Tulwet Chuiyat Ward Administrator Susan Kisorio and Sub County Livestock officers. ... See MoreSee Less
