Bees play a pivotal role in the environment. There is no doubting that.
What they can also do is get people thinking about their ecosystem and how we can make the planet healthier for everyone.
We also carry out live bee sessions with schools by showcasing bees in display hives to pre schools and opening actual working hives for more mature kids.
This provide children with an opportunity to come closer to the nature and also understand roles of honey bees to our food chain.
Our mission is to introduce children to the inner workings of bees by getting smart, managed beehives into schools. Our system allows access to live beehive health data that can be used as a learning tool and an entry point to other ecological topics such as bio-dynamic gardening and plant biology.
The challenge we face at the moment is that schools often do not have the budget for this kind of investment so we have provided a platform to allow schools to be nominated and eventually sponsored.
Once a school is sponsored, Our team will provide bees, ongoing hive management, education, and honey to the school for the period of the sponsorship.
Beehive Sponsorship
We provide:
1 or 2 hives for 12 months (auto renew ideally)
All the harvestable honey the hive produces goes to the school to market/sell/share
1 ‘information about bees’ talk a year with the beekeeper
12 beekeeper visits per year (min) to service the hive/s
