Creating Beekeepers For Life
Beekeepers for Life is a Bees Abroad campaign, working to empower women through beekeeping.
We will educate, train and support women to become skilled beekeepers, community leaders, trainers and entrepreneurs, through our sustainable beekeeping training model.
Creating Beekeepers For Life communities in Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda.
Our volunteer expert beekeepers work through in-country partners and trainers. Over time we build a trusting relationship supporting and guiding their development to deliver projects with our funding and oversight.
Beekeeping becomes a small business supplementing the income of our project participants. Money earned by selling honey is used to pay for school fees, medicines and household essentials.
We always use locally sourced sustainable materials to make hives and protective clothing. We only use hive types suited to local climatic conditions and always work with indigenous bees.

In a small corner of Wales, 21 years ago, a group of four beekeepers gathered.
As a result ‘Bees Abroad’ was born on 18 April 1999.
As beekeepers, they had recognised the power of beekeeping to provide a sustainable incremental income for households in the poorest of communities worldwide.
They pooled their knowledge and experience and adopted the mission that remains unchanged today, the relief of poverty through beekeeping.
During those 21 years, well over 100 projects have touched the lives of around 50,000 people helping them to build livelihoods that enable them to increase their income.
