Honey has well documented health benefits. High in invertase enzymes, honey can strengthen the bodies immune system. The elements of glucose oxidase, high acidity and sugar content are three essential elements that kill bacteria in the body. Our honey is something special. Uganda has a rich natural environment, famed for its national parks and mountain gorillas. We are working with small-holder farmers in organic farming practises to get the best quality honey.

Propolis is a resin produced by bees collected from plant extracts mixed with the bees own enzymes to act as a disinfectant to keep the hive sterile. We can use this resin as an antibiotic, soothing sore throats, reducing inflammation, speeds up wound healing, combating fungal infections and strengthening the body’s immune system. It can be used internally to treat colds, bronchitis, stomach ulcers, respiratory disorders, liver and kidney inflammation, ear, nose and throat infections and toothaches. Externally it will heal cuts, burns, and other minor skin infections. Uganda’s pristine natural environment produces a propolis that is free of pollutants. This is available on the market both in Uganda and abroad.

Bee venom honey is a mixture of honey, propolis and bee venom that can be taken to boost the immune system. Bee venom itself is a bitter colourless liquid that is released through the sting of a bee. Bee venom contains melittin, histamine, peptides and other biogenic amines that have been used to treat arthritis and other painful conditions. The bee venom honey has been popular in Uganda among those that live with the HIV virus as it greatly increases the CD4 count. Read research

The queen bee lays all the eggs in the beehive. She lives for approximately five years and for the first two she is very productive and many worker bees are made to make the colony strong and producing alot of honey. When the queen gets old she does not lay alot of eggs and often a beehive will not produce any honey when it has an old queen. As a rule to get alot of honey, always have a young queen. Queen breeding is key to increased farm production and in the process of selective breeding producing strains that are less aggressive, more productive and pest resilient.
