The women beekeepers at the Ngong Forest Sanctuary have always gone through alot of hurdles in maintaining their bee hives.Every time they come together and repair their hives after being destroyed by either wildlife or human beings, they usually get a setback before they even get returns from their hardwork.This made them give up with the project and and venture into other businesses. The group that was left continued taking care of their bee hives the best way they knew how, until after a regular visit by one of the staff from Honey Care Africa promised to look into their problem and come up with a solution once and for all.
The visitors accessing the damage
All the damaged beehives were taken to the Honey Care workshop for repairs as most of them were in a bad condition. The women also got a chance to visit the workshop and the priviledge of learning how to repair their beehives. The repair work took almost two weeks, and on Monday it was a busy day for the women as they were busy placing their beehives back to the apiary.

They were overjoyed and humbly thanked the visitor for the help given to them. They promised to work hard in their project. Fencing of the apiary and hiring a guard to watch over the bee hives was a permanent solution which they requested the Honey Care Africa to look into before they harvest their honey make some income and cater for the expenses there after.
