Beekeeping in Tanzania plays a significant role in socio-economic development by generating cash income and contributing to food security. It also indirectly contributes to the conservation of forests and agricultural productivity.Tanzania is an important producer of quality honey and beeswax due to its favourable climate and vegetation that support beekeeping, capable of hosting up to 9.2 million productive bee colonies in its forest woodlands and farm areas. Additionally, Tanzania benefits from the presence of both sting and stingless honeybees and the existence of indigenous knowledge on beekeeping practices.”
