Beekeeping in Kenya has grown significantly in recent years, offering both economic opportunities and environmental benefits. From smallholder farmers to large cooperatives, honey harvesting is becoming a key pillar in sustainable agriculture.

However, bee harvesting comes with risks, bee stings, smoke exposure, slips, and allergic reactions. That’s why having the right Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential.

At Safety Hub Enterprises, we are proud to be Kenya’s leading manufacturer and supplier of premium bee harvesting PPE that are designed for comfort, durability, and maximum protection.
