Laikipia beekeeper profits significantly from 600 hives, exports honey worldwide.

Rosemary Mosiany, a beekeeper from Laikipia County, has turned her five initial hives into a successful honey business, capitalizing on the challenges of livestock farming in Kenya's arid regions. Beekeeping, which requires less land and water, has become a viable alternative as droughts and pasture shortages threaten traditional livestock livelihoods. Starting in 2018, Rosemary's venture was supported by the Namelok Women’s Group and training from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which equipped her with essential skills in honey production and marketing.
