In January and February 2020, groups of youths- mostly young women in Makueni and Kitui in estern Kenya were trained on modern bee keeping farming as part of the activities for the Youth Innovation Center.

This initial trainign coussed on various aspects such as:

1. Establishing a new apiary - Participants underwent training on the planning for creating a succesful apiary. Establishing a new site requires more investment.

2. making modern bee hives- the  groups learne dthe various types of bee hives and what they can make locally at the resoruce center. As part of the project, SDFA -Kenya will provide materials such as wood and tolls for the groups to start making the bee hives locally.The bee hives will be used by the groups in the area, and they can also make additional bee hives to sell   to farmers in the wider region.

3. Selecting a suitable site for beekeeping - the groups lea4ned about the environment for beekeeping, how it should be of diverse vegetation that provides plenty of pollen and nectar. They also learned that Ideally, the apiary is located within a 1 km radius of food sources.

After the training, a pilot set of 5 bee hives were installed in the area. Thr project aims to then offer more traning and use the resource center to create viable commercial bee keeping in the area.
