How Your Reviews Help Save Kenyan Bees and Forests
At Clozist, we're about more than an eco-friendly marketplace. We're committed to building a better future — and that's why we've partnered with Greenspark to support the EarthLungs Bees Project in Mteza Creek, Mombasa, Kenya.
Every product review you leave helps create a safe haven for 20 bees. But this goes well beyond honey. For every order placed, we also offset 7kg of CO2 and rescue 2 plastic bottles from the environment. You can follow our live impact here: our Greenspark impact page.
The EarthLungs Bees Project: One Hive at a Time
Think about how much depends on bees. They're at the heart of pollination — which drives the regeneration of plant life and keeps forests healthy. Without them, ecosystems begin to unravel. The EarthLungs Bees Project in Kenya is working to change that trajectory, and here's how:
- Building and deploying beehives: The project is constructing over 300 custom-built beehives, each designed to house more than 60,000 bees across Kenyan planting sites — giving colonies a proper, protected home.
- Protecting forests and fostering biodiversity: Thriving bee colonies strengthen pollination, which in turn supports native plant species and creates more resilient local ecosystems.
- Creating sustainable livelihoods: Local communities are trained to manage the hives and earn income from honey (around 20kg per hive each year), propolis, and royal jelly. This gives families a real alternative to harmful practices like logging and slash-and-burn agriculture.
- Strengthening community stewardship: When communities have a stake in the land, they look after it. Beekeeping gives people a hands-on reason to care for and protect their local environment.
- Deterring poaching and illegal logging: The regular activity around beehive sites naturally discourages illegal activity, helping safeguard precious forestland.
