Choices made by a beekeeper to use modern beehives depend on various factors. This study assessed the factors influencing adoption of modern beehives in Sikonge District. Data was collected by semi-structured questionnaire, key informants interview and focus group discussion. This study was done in four wards; Chabutwa, Tutuo, Kipanga and Kiloleli, which were randomly selected out of the 15 wards of Sikonge District. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were used as analytical tools. Binary logistic regression model revealed that factors which statistically affect the adoption of modern beehives are gender of the household head (p < 0.05), affiliation of a beekeeper to beekeeping group (p < 0.001) and experience in beekeeping (p < 0.001). It is recommended that beekeepers in the study area be encouraged to develop and join beekeeping groups so as to improve the adoption.
