Honey bees are the only pollinator that produce honey that can be cultivated and managed, as all of our other native pollinators are wild. But they’re all threatened by the same problems, habitat degradation, pollution, pesticides, pathogens, changes in land-use and longer wetter, damper winters from climate change. The honey bee is also under attack from natural threats but if we can save the honeybees environment, we can save all the others for free.​​​ And with all the difficulties honey bees face, I’m convinced that without beekeepers, as a species, the honey bee would be in big trouble.

Prices for working hives are on a sliding scale, with discounts available for schools, colleges, care settings, and home gardens. Beehives with colonies can be bought, rented, sponsored or gifted with ongoing management of your hive and delivery of your own raw honey. 

PLAN BEE produces raw honey as organically as I can control. This is real honey for physical health and wellbeing. Real honey, when it isn't pasteurized, contains pollen, propolis, live enzymes and beeswax, all the good stuff. It works as an anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant and an antibacterial agent. It is used in Cancer treatments and wound healing. It's good for cardiovascular disease and reduces cholesterol levels. It is truly magical stuff.

Having your own beehive is an excellent opportunity to contribute to supporting our critical pollinators and would make an excellent Christmas, birthday or anniversary gift. Drop me an email to discuss or to arrange a call or site visit.
