Hive Setup & Apiary Management Kenya Top Bar Hives are installed on elevated stands and inspected for correct placement — foundational apiary setup skills taught to all SheKeeper cooperative members.   Hive Inspections & Field Training Field trainer Mohammed Ali Ibrahim leads women beekeepers in full protective gear through systematic colony assessments, including honeycomb frame inspection, honey ripeness recognition, and safe hive-handling techniques.   Honey Harvest Honeycomb bars heavy with honey are carefully removed from Kenya Top Bar Hives during supervised harvest sessions, with filled buckets collected at community gathering points for processing.   Honey Processing Cooperative members press combs and strain and clarify freshly harvested honey using equipment and techniques introduced through SheKeeper training, preparing market-ready product for storage and sale.   Beeswax Processing Wax comb residues left after honey straining are melted down, filtered, and poured into moulds to cool into finished beeswax ingots — a valuable byproduct that cooperative members sell as a secondary income alongside their honey harvest.   The SheKeeper project continues to demonstrate that with proper support, training, and community engagement, women in Northern Ghana can successfully develop beekeeping as a sustainable income source alongside their traditional shea collection activities.
