Mission
Nature's Nectar aims to be Zambia's most sustainable honey company, working to protect local forests and create a long-term income while producing a beautiful product. Traditional beekeeping in Zambia is destructive to local forests and bees, as well as creates a low quality honey. Nature's Nectar distributes locally and sustainably produced beehives to rural farmers in NW Zambia to produce a high quality honey that protects the areas in which it is produced. Nature's Nectar works with 50% female farmers in a traditionally male dominated practice, enabling women to gain a new skill as well as become financially independent. Our goal is to distribute 50,000 beehives to 5,000 farmers in the next 3-5 years.

While we produce a food product, our goals are heavily linked to social and environmental impacts. In order for us to produce a high quality and impactful honey, we must first invest in sustainable practices that produce these results.
