Njung'e This is a great venture and you are talking of near zero costs of production and so very high margins. Demand for good honey is unmet. And 95% of what is the shelves not good honey. Please don't feed the bees.

Thanks! I have 24 acre piece NW of Nyahururu and it borders Laikipia reserve forests (Uaso Nyiro).The piece has good natural savannah bush,brush and tree cover and i have been thinking of turning it into one big apiary.Do you think the much colder climate will favour Langstroth? Will appreciate your input.
Just finished re-reading a Seeds of Gold article from November 2014 You should have max 25 hives in an apiary. The nearest apiary from that big apiary should be 3kms away

Hi Wairegi. Have you started selling? How much per kg? Want to start this in 2016 with around 20 hives
