Greener Hills Honey Cooperative

Sweet Success: Empowering Communities Through Beekeeping

Discover the buzz at GHC! Our apiaries, skilled beekeepers, and state-of-the-art honey processing equipment are creating something extraordinary—introducing the Greener Hills Honey Cooperative.

Why Bees? Why Now?Western Kenya's bees are thriving, and our CHEC members are reaping the rewards. From building apiaries to processing liquid gold, our community manages every step of this sweet operation.


The Numbers Speak:

  • Raw honey: $10/kg wholesale
  • Beeswax: $10/kg
  • Propolis: $40/kg Low investment, high returns—and that's just the beginning.


Beyond Profit: Planet & PurposeEvery hive supports pollination, biodiversity, and habitat restoration. When bees thrive, ecosystems flourish—and so do the communities that depend on them.

Sweet income. Sustainable future. Stronger communities.

Harvesting honey in Kegati Apiary

An up close video of one of our harvests from Kegati Village. As the video shows, our beekeepers closely examine each hive and comb to ensure it is ready for harvest. This harvest yielded over 20 liters of honey! 

Inspecting Hives in Kegati Apiary

Our Kegati Apiary will eventually house 50 hives. In February, 2024, 22 hives have been colonized and 17 reside in the apiary.
