About Company

Na Nyosi (PTY) Ltd was founded in 2017 as a 100% black-owned beekeeping company, with 50% ownership by black females. We started with one beehive in our garden and expanded as the plants blossomed and the fruit trees produced more fruits. Our aim is to address the decline of bee populations and their importance in crop production for food security. We also strive to support farmers, local schools, and clinics with gardens. Our goals include reducing the number of hives required in South Africa's beekeeping industry and providing high-quality vegetables while focusing on food security, nutrition, and maintaining biodiversity.
