Save the bees, save the environment

Honey bees play a vital role in maintaining the health and biodiversity of our food and ecosystem, pollinating 1/3 of all UK-grown crops, and up to 75% of all global crops.

-          Bees will fly up to 5miles to collect, forage and pollinate

-          A single honey bee can produce up to a tablespoon of honey in its lifetime

-          Bees use water to cool their hive, just like air conditioning!

-          Bees communicate by dancing

-          Worker bees (the females) only live on average 42 days in the Summer

-          Bees prefer yellow, blue & purple flowers

But bees are increasingly under threat due to climate change, depletion of green spaces and the growing of commercial monoculture crops.

That is why we teamed up with Plan Bee who offer beehive adoption, management & educational services to protect and grow the endangered honey bee population. The bees contribute to healthier, more varied plant and animal life and Plan Bee's idea is simple: develop beehives with businesses to help the honey bee population recover – one hive at a time, yay!

But that’s not all. Whilst our bees are happy and healthy in their hives, we have created our very own wildflower garden which helps provide the habitat they and other wildlife so crucially need.
