Dodoma CIty is having potential areas for keeping bees and these are found in Miombo tree stretch of Gawaye, Hombolo Makulu, Zuzu, Ng’ong’ona and Mkoyo villages. Current estimate of beehives stands at 10,005 in the whole of Municipality of which 3001 are modern bee hives and 7004 are traditional ones. The beekeeping in Dodoma Municipal Council is for self-employment. The products of the bee include wax and honey and the community has been able to earn income from this. Dodoma farmers are yet to enter the international market of honey and its products due to lack of capacity to practice modern beekeeping industry. Mostly the processes are done traditionally.
