Sponsor a Beehive, Adopt A Beehive. Whether it’s a Christmas present, an unusual Birthday Gift or Special Anniversary surprise, sponsoring a Beehive is the perfect gift for the environmentally conscious, the bee or honey lover, or simply the person who seems to have everything!
Around the world, bee populations are dwindling before our eyes. In recent years, several domestic and wild bee species have been placed on endangered lists. This is worrisome, as bees are the biggest pollinators and play a vital role in producing crops and sustaining the agriculture industry. In short, this means our food sources are at risk.
Your sponsorship helps us to fund new bee hives, new bee colonies and will support us in looking after the hives in a sustainable and healthy way.
Bees have 5 eyes and 6 legs.
Honey bees harvest nectar and pollen from flowering plants.
Male bees are called Drones and they do not have a stinger and Worker bees are females. …
Honey bees live in large groups called colonies which on average will contain around 50,000 bees.
Bees make excellent pollinators because while visiting flowers, bees’ fuzzy legs grab onto pollen and carry it from flower to flower, thus pollinating other plants, which makes plants able to make fruit and seeds.
Bees must fly about 55,000 miles just to make one pound of honey
A large portion of global food crops rely on insects and animals for their pollination. Honey bees are among the most numerous and efficient pollinator species in the world. Considering that the average honey bee can visit more than 2,000 flowers in one day.
