“Keeping bees for me is a dream come true because I loved nature and birds since my childhood. “Bees are easy to manage, very profitable and keeping them is not a full-time job," says Letiwa, who ditched shop keeping to concentrate on apiculture. The apiary is some 200 metres from her house and she has set up a water pan to ensure the bees get plenty of water they need. The bees don’t demand any feeds or vaccines, what makes them very profitable," Letiwa says. From one hive, Letiwa has increased the number to 23 and harvests honey for six consecutive months in a year.
