Bunyangabu Beekeppers Cooperative Bunyangabu Beekeeping Cooperative (BBC), is a community organization that takes beekeeping very seriously, using nature’s gifts to help live in harmony with the environment that surrounds them. BBC owns an apiary, located about 300 meters from the main building, which is well stocked with all types of bee-hives ranging from traditional to modern ones. Fresh comb h
oney is available from BBC between March-May and August-November. From their training centre, BBC stocks pure honey, beeswax candles in a variety of designs, and propolis tinctures in small bottles, all of which are for sale. If you are lucky, when you visit, you can pick up some of their award-winning cream honey – the best in East Africa. This beekeeping cooperative offers a true honey experience, where visitors can see honey processing, taste honey from the comb, and even make their own candles to take home. BBC runs meetings and workshops for beekeepers from all over East Africa; beekeepers from the community get free trainings that help with their crops and health, and teach them about the multiple benefits of bees. Every workshop is paired with an HIV/AIDS awareness training to curb infection rates among community members.
