Bee Natural's main area of operation is the west Nile region which includes the districts of Arua, Nebbi, Yumbe, Moyo, Koboko and Adjumani. The Ediofe Mission Centre in Arua is the location of the modern processing plant. The factory employees are mainly women (70%) who come from a low educational background. To encourage a collective community enterprise the beekeeper groups are of mixed gender and provide realisable prospects for a sustainable income stream for the rural poor. They are also introduced to subsidised financing to grow their business.
