About Me

I am 37 years old.

Along side Kibogo's ave.

My Business

I started the business 0f bee keeping in 2007 to supplement my meagre income i was getting in farming .nowadays iam able to sell 15 kg of honey daily. each kg of honey goes for sh 300.i have 15 hives. i provide my beees with water which comes from a pond that i have personally dug. i have also planted many manmade trees to provide the bees with nector and shade.during the dry season i provide the bees with supplementally food so that they can continue producing honey optimally.My honey is one of the best and despite the locals buying it i sell it to the traders at Nakuru

Loan Proposal

I WILL USE THE MONEY TO ADD MORE BEE HIVE TO MY FARM .

Hello Mr. Karuri, thank-you for your continued efforts. You may find it helpful to change your payment calendar, as you are showing as late now, and I don't think this is what you want.

Dear Dickson, how is the the honey business going? I was wondering whether you can also market other products from the bees, like wax and royal jelly?

Thank you also for your repayments. May God continue to bless you.

Kind regards,

Tom

Hi Sirko: In case Dickson doesn't have time to explain to you, his hives are Kenyan Top Bar Hives. You can learn more about top bar hives, and bee-keeping in Africa generally, by looking at www.beesabroad.org.uk Good luck with your bees! Best, Hugh

Greetings Mr. Karuri,

I hope you are having a sunny honey day full of sweetness. I miss the honey bees. They still don't know why they are all dying. Sad. But I hope your business continues to be a great success.

Best wishes, Ann (namaste250)
