Why Huchi Capital exists

The disappearance of the honey bees, better known as Colony Collapse Disorder is a major concern for all mankind as we are all directly and indirectly affected. The greatest concern for Africa is that the statistics on the bee keeping sector are not reliable or are not readily available.

This lack of accurate, up-to-date and factual data is not only a big stumbling block to making data driven decision for players in the bee keeping sector but it has also created a big information gap. Development of our proposed solution will aid us in promoting more people to go into professional beekeeping.
