African queen bees are essential for productive hives, crop pollination, and sustainable livelihoods, yet quality queens are scarce. This project will establish a queen bee breeding center, train 500 smallholder farmers, and supply improved African queen bees to increase honey production, boost crop pollination, and raise household incomes. Implemented with The Italian Bee (EAS Certified Master Beekeepers) and Muni University's Apiculture Research Department in Uganda
Smallholder farmers in Uganda face low honey production and poor crop yields because quality African queen bees are scarce and traditional beekeeping practices limit colony strength. Weak colonies reduce pollination, affecting food security and household incomes. More than 500 farming families will benefit from improved queen bees, training, and modern apiculture, leading to stronger hives, better harvests, higher incomes, and healthier ecosystems.
This project will establish a sustainable African queen bee breeding center, train 500 smallholder farmers in modern apiculture, and distribute improved queen bees to strengthen colonies. With technical support from The Italian Bee (EAS Certified Master Beekeepers) and Muni University's Apiculture Research Department, farmers will increase honey production, improve crop pollination, restore biodiversity, and earn higher, more reliable incomes.
Over the next five years, this project will enable 500 smallholder farmers to establish thriving apiaries with locally bred African queen bees, increasing honey production, crop pollination, and household incomes. The breeding center will continue producing quality queen bees for thousands of colonies, strengthening food security, conserving biodiversity, creating rural jobs, and building a self-sustaining beekeeping industry in Uganda.
