Business Concept HiveShare Kenya is a beekeeping partnership company that installs and manages beehives on farmers' land at no upfront cost to the landowner. We provide the hives, bees, expertise, harvesting, processing, and marketing, while the landowner provides space and security. Profits from honey and other hive products are shared between both parties. Problem Many Kenyan farmers rely on seasonal crops such as maize, generating income only once or twice a year. At the same time, large portions of farmland remain underutilized. Kenya also faces a shortage of high-quality honey despite growing demand from households, retailers, hotels, and health-conscious consumers.

The farmer: - Provides land and security. - Receives a share of profits.
