Analysis of determinants of adoption of modern beehives in Marigat, Baringo county

ABSTRACT Modern technology in beekeeping have advanced over the years. However, it has been observed that satisfying the basic needs of the rural people to improve their living standards by adopting modern beehives is still a challenge despite these technological advances. This is due to the relative slow adaption rates of the new technology. This study was, therefore, designed to find out the determinants of adoption of modern beehives in beekeeping projects in Kenya, with particular emphasis on the beekeepers in Marigat, Baringo County in Kenya. The objectives of the study were to establish the social/cultural factors that influence adoption of modern beehives; assess how institutional factors influence the adoption and also determine the influence of economic factors on adoption of modern beehives.
