Welcome to elbee Apiculture Co-operative Society

It is located at Kowino area, Opposite Kowino Police Post, Migori-Isebania Rd, Wasweta II Ward, Suna West Sub County, Migori County. The Co-operative plays a key role in the marketing of its members' honey which is refined and packed in form of pure honey, flavoured honey (mint/cinnamon/ginger/hot-chillied), and peanut butter with honey. It has an active membership of 461 beekeepers across Migori County. The Co-operative offers its members market for honey, apiary setup and management services, inspection and harvesting services, beekeeping inputs for hire or purchase, and capacity building services. The name ‘elbee’ has two parts; ‘el’ and ‘bee’. Among ancient Israel’s neighbours, people referred to the most powerful god as ‘el’ which is not actually a name, but an ancient Semitic title for ‘god’. It could refer to many gods, but the chief deity of all the other gods was simply titled ‘el’ meaning ‘The god’. elbee simply means ‘The god of bees’, having dominion over bees. Having dominion over a living creature is not a license to abuse it, but a contract from God to care for it. The principal aim of elbee Apiculture Co-operative Society is to create great products that consumers can enjoy whilst creating a satisfying income stream to support each of our beekeepers, and all our direct and indirect beneficiaries.
