Promoting Beehives to Enhance Resilience in Kenya

In Tana River County, Kenya, women from Handaraku village are utilizing beekeeping to enhance resilience against climate challenges, generate income, and promote local ecosystems, with support from Concern Worldwide and the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance. The region experiences extreme weather, including prolonged heat and unpredictable rainfall, making traditional agriculture increasingly difficult. Beekeeping offers a flexible, nature-based solution, as bees can adapt to changing conditions and capitalize on brief flowering periods, making honey production less reliant on stable seasons.
