Our Approach
Tropical Honey work with beekeepers as out-growers for production of honey to meet market demands. Beekeepers are organized into groups and provided with training and technical support to set up suitable apiary for quality honey production, supplied with necessary equipment for high quality honey harvest. Beekeepers are further trained on making beehives using locally available materials to increase the number of their beehives and honey production to meet the market demands. Tropical Honey then provides beekeepers with honey market by buying their bee products at fair guaranteed price, adding value, marketing and selling the honey products to urban consumers.
Tropical Honey further invest integrating beekeeping with fruit growing and agro-forestry to provide honey bees with multiple forage for honey production and restoration of degraded ecosystem. We promote establishment of modern apiaries integrated with passion fruits, bananas and fruit trees to increase honey production. The fruit trees further boost the forage (pollens and nectars) for the honeybees, increasing honey production and productivity to meet the market demand and improving the livelihoods of the rural communities.
Tropical Honey’s approach of working with beekeepers as outgrowing and integrating beekeeping with fruits growing guarantees a sustainable, reliable production and supply of quality natural honey products to the market.
