What Is Sustainable Beekeeping?

Sustainable beekeeping is all about improving, maintaining and understanding the health and wellbeing of the bee population, whilst ensuring that the production of the honey does not overexploit the hives or negatively impact the environment. In addition to research, focus on the long-term health of the colonies helps to preserve these vital creatures and for future generations.

The Essentials of Ethical Beekeeping

Ethical beekeeping follows a lot of principals of sustainability, but with a specific focus on the welfare of the bees, some of these practices include:

Humane Treatment:

Ethical beekeepers take steps to prioritize the health and comfort of their bees, which includes avoiding practices that can cause unnecessary stress or harm. Examples of this include not overworking the colonies or moving hives too regularly or over long distances. 

Chemical-Free Hives:

Ethical beekeepers will avoid using harmful chemicals and instead choose to rely ono natural methods to manage pests and disease within their hives. 

Balanced Harvesting

Ethical beekeepers harvest honey in ways that ensure the bees have enough food to survive, particularly during colder months when natural food sources are scarcer. 

Research & Development

By investing in research and development, our honey suppliers have been able to improve efficiency and implement long term sustainable, precision agricultural technology into minimal impact sourcing, manufacture and freighting. 

Why Sustainable and Ethical Bee-Keeping is So Important

The health of our planet is critically linked to the well-being of the global bee population. As a key pollinator, bees provide a crucial role in maintaining the entire planets biodiversity. Over 1/3 of the world's food crops are pollinated and therefore directly dependent on bees. Whilst bees are essential for maintaining entire ecosystems, the global bee population is under threat from a variety of factors, including habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change and diseases such as Colony Collapse Disorder

By supporting sustainable and ethical beekeeping, we are helping to safeguard the future of bees and contributing to the preservation of nature.
