African Honey Bee (AHB), founded by Guy Stubbs, is a Christian Social Enterprise that enables families from severely disadvantaged rural communities to build sustainable micro-poverty alleviation businesses - producing raw honey of unrivalled taste and quality, using environmentally-friendly and ethical poverty alleviation practices.
The global shortage of honeybee products, especially those that comply with raw and fair-trade standards, means that there are exceptional opportunities for trained, committed beekeepers in these unspoilt areas. Poverty alleviation as a form of agriculture has an overwhelmingly positive impact on the natural environment, including pollination and improved yields of many food crops.
In the last two years AHB have trained over 1600 people in KwaZulu-Natal. Over 1000 (and counting) of these beekeepers (and their families) are actively keeping bees and many have started producing and selling honey.
