How bee keeping sweetened teacher’s journey to success

Mrs Miriam Chebaari grew up battling tonsillitis. Sometimes, her condition was so bad that her tongue would swell and fill her mouth, affecting her speech. Her father, then a bee farmer, would make her drink honey mixed with warm water. Then she would feel better. That is how her love for honey started.

After a stint in teaching profession, she quit and started researching on bee keeping. She even enrolled at Baraka Agricultural College to boost her bee-keeping skills and knowledge. Afterwards, she started Tharaka Honey Bee Products, a company that specialises in production of a variety of bee products.
