Sponsor a Beehive
Helping bees to keep our world alive!
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.
Put simply, we cannot live without bees
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.
Did you Know
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.
Pollinators
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
We are dependent on bees to fertilise many of our crops
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.
Did you know
Every purchase goes towards a real beehive, helping the honeybee population recover and supporting honeybee related initiatives around the UK. You also receive updates on how your sponsored hive is progressing.
Honey bees
In a Honey Bee Colony, there are only three types of bees, The Queen, Workers and Drones. A Honey Bee Colony contains generally One Queen, thousands of female workers, and some male drones. Only the Queen produces eggs and she can lay around 1,200 eggs day, the remaining females perform all other duties, doing different jobs at different stages of their short lives. Drones have no stinger and have only one job, that’s to mate with queens from other hives
More Facts
Bees live about 10 weeks and can fly 1 week after hatching.
There are 20,000 different species of bee
3.5 million acres of crops depend on honeybees for pollination
1/3 of the human diet is from insect-pollinated plants of which 80% of that 1/3, is pollinated by honeybees.

Bee sponsorship also offers a unique opportunity to give back to nature while enhancing brand reputation. Imagine gifting your clients or employees with eco-friendly gifts that reflect care for the environment. Each jar of honey produced is a sweet testament to your company’s dedication to sustainability. Such gifts create a lasting impression, leaving recipients with a warm feeling of nostalgia and appreciation. Let your brand be synonymous with green initiatives and genuine impact.
Enhancing Your Eco-Friendly Image
In today’s business landscape, maintaining an eco-friendly image is crucial. Bee sponsorship offers a straightforward way to enhance this image while contributing to the environment. When a company sponsors a beehive, it demonstrates a tangible commitment to sustainability, aligning its brand with eco-conscious values.
Eco-friendly gifts such as branded honey produced from sponsored beehives can be a delightful surprise for clients and employees. These gifts act as a symbol of the company’s dedication to supporting the ecosystem.

Wonderful gift for my mother
I came across the website when searching for an unusual and quirky gift. This was perfect. My mum has always loved bees and what they do. So this ticked all the boxes. The updates and honey pots have been excellent. We have really loved the gift that keeps on giving. Chris is very personable and always available when needed with any questions or queries. You’re doing amazing work. Thanks so much 🙂

What a Buzz
I sponsored a hive for my cousin's big birthday and I am so pleased I did. From day one this company have been great. Her birthday is January, just after New Year. They contacted me and said, as the bees would not be active they had printed out her name and took a photo of it on the side of 'her' hive. She received it on time and was absolutely thrilled with the whole package that came and with the regular updates she gets. If you want something different or you are stuck for a present, this is your answer. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

Love the Updates
I was given a sponsored bee hive as a gift and I was thrilled to receive a package containing photographs with my name on a hive. Not only that I was given easy to read information about the life cycle of bees and the work involved for the bees themselves and the keepers. I get regular updates as to where the bees are in their cycle and the work which is being carried out. I’m grateful for my special gift and I’m sure others would enjoy this as a gift or maybe a family purchase to keep children informed and interested
