Send us your disused smartphone and chargers to help African bee farmers out of poverty.
Africa is producing some of the purest, pesticide free honey in the world. With hive to market honey traceability through the use of a smartphone. African beekeepers can provide evidence of their honey’s purity for acceptance by the EU. Providing access to a wider market and with the AHC help allowing bee farmers to build their businesses and take them out of poverty, while supporting local environmental issues in biodiversity.

Nothing over 7mm gets into this hive:
Wasp, hornet, wax moth, rodent or reptile
