Considering our objective is to work to help our environment in all ways possible; given we have a superb and almost perfectly sustainable raw material; knowing the global bee population is clearly in trouble; that much of the global food supply depends on bees fertilising the plants, and that the global food supply is now limited (and I will argue has gone past sustainable peak) – it isn’t difficult for us to make the jump to produce truly sustainable bee hives. So here they are.
There are lots of reasons to keep bees – wherever you are or you live – but understanding the problems and issues surrounding bees is surely important. I am so frequently asked “But what can we do to help our world?” Well, more of us could keep bees for a start, which helps everybody.
The 3 following documents explain the issues and why we are now involved:
