What is Beekeeping?

Beekeeping is the practice of keeping and caring for bees so they can produce honey, beeswax, and other useful products. It’s a natural way to earn money while helping crops grow through pollination. At Brivana Hive, we focus on teaching everyday Nigerians how to start their own bee farm from scratch.

You’ll learn how to choose the right hive, care for your bees, and harvest honey the proper way. Whether you live in the city or village, beekeeping is a skill anyone can learn with the right guide.
