Beekeeping benefits agriculture across the globe due to the pollination services provided by honeybees. Therefore, the disappearance of honeybees may lead to the extinction of some important plant species. Most beekeepers in Uganda keep western honeybee (Apis mellifera) and are under the umbrella body called The Uganda National Apiculture Development Organization (TUNADO). TUNADO supports beekeepers with technology dissemination, bulking hives products, and ensures that the quality of hive products meets the specified standards of various markets. The beekeeping systems in Uganda comprise of traditional, transitional, and modern approaches, with 87% beekeepers practicing the traditional system. This preference for the traditional system is primarily due to its lower cost, the limited availability of materials for modern setups, and its ease of management. Uganda has the potentials for beekeeping due to its natural resources, the presence of wild colonies of honeybees, and government policies. Beekeeping has contributed to farmers’ livelihoods both economically and ecologically. However, they are faced with challenges of agrochemicals, low colonization rate and absconding, climate change, parasites, pests, diseases, and unskilled labor. Beekeepers are undertaking extensive education in colony management to overcome the challenges. It is strongly recommended that a training center for queen breeding/rearing should be established to foster honey research in the country.
