Bee Conservationism

Our work does not end at the Bee Rescue stage. We relocate every rescue nest to one of our 3 apiary sites. We do our best to provide the best living conditions for these bee colonies.

 

We manage conditions like shelter from the elements and protection from other predators, providing bee-friendly plants close by and to assist in building a feeding cycle (bee colonies are primarily self-sustaining, but right after a rescue, they are disoriented and vulnerable and take a while to reorient and find their food sources) as well.

​

Every colony that stays will continue to do what it does best, pollinating the flora and fauna in the area!

​

Which is why we are ALWAYS on the lookout for more Apiary sites.

​

Because one KEY limitation that a large percentage of our local honey bees have is a limited wingspan. Firstly, this limits how far they can fly away from their nests to forage (and pollinate). Secondly, if and when they ever do decide to move away from their current location, there is also so far they can go to establish a new nesting site.

​

In an ideal situation, our local bee colonies should be in diverse locations throughout our island. This helps to maximise the benefits of the pollination effects of our bees.
