How I Built a Successful Bee Venom Therapy Business in Kenya
As Kenya celebrated World Bee Day this year, I reflected on my journey from a curious farmer to a pioneer in apitherapy (bee venom treatment) in Kenya. What started as a passion for natural healing has now grown into a thriving business, with bee venom fetching KSh 3,800 per gram locally and KSh 12,900 internationally.
Why I Ventured Into Bee Venom Farming
After studying apitherapy in Romania, I realized the immense potential of bee venom in treating chronic illnesses naturally. I invested over KSh 1 million to set up my bee venom extraction operation—a decision that has paid off beyond expectations.
Many farmers ask me: "Is bee venom farming profitable?" The answer is YES!
- A single beehive can earn KSh 60,000 per year from honey alone.
- Adding venom harvesting significantly increases income.
- The global demand for natural therapies is rising, making this a smart long-term investment.
How I Harvest Bee Venom Sustainably
To ensure high-quality venom while protecting my bees, I follow strict guidelines:
Equipment
✔ Langstroth hives
✔ Electric venom collector (KSh 80,000–120,000)
Best Practices
✔ Harvest only from older bees
✔ Process into powder (store in airtight, dark containers)
Challenges & How I Overcame Them
- High Initial Costs – The equipment is expensive, but the returns justify the investment.
- Convincing Patients – Many doubted bee venom therapy at first, but success stories changed minds.
- Balancing Production – Proper scheduling ensures bees stay healthy and productive.
