Beekeeping in rural Kenya is a way for villagers to increase their income by selling cash crops of honey, wax and propolis. The Kesogon Self Help Group is working to build hives and teach villagers how to take care of bees.  For most villagers the biggest barrier to keeping bees is the cost of the first hive.  Carpentry tools would help the Group build on its successes and make affordable, well-built hives available to villagers.
