    Beekeeping is an integral part of agriculture in Zimbabwe, providing income and employment opportunities for rural communities and contributing to the economic development of the country. The beekeeping industry has evolved from using traditional hives to modern hives, which are more efficient and productive. However, in Zimbabwe, 78% of the hives are still traditional because of their affordability and the availability of construction materials. The low adoption of modern hives, such as Langstroth and top bar hives, has resulted in low yields of honey and other bee products. This is why Zimbabwe imports 70% of its honey from South Africa and China, as the current local supply cannot meet the demand. Despite the widespread use of traditional hives, the benefits of the beekeeping industry are evident including crop pollination and bee products used as raw materials by several cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries in Zimbabwe. However, the industry faces several challenges, including pests and diseases, the use of agrochemicals toxic to the honey bee population, adulteration of honey, and limited availability of resources and financial support. It is therefore imperative that beekeepers, researchers, stakeholders, and the government work together to address these challenges and increase the productivity and efficiency of beekeeping in Zimbabwe. By harnessing the power of beekeeping, Zimbabwe can promote sustainable agriculture, preserve its natural biodiversity, and create opportunities for economic development.
