Our model
Saving our planet takes more than what one person, company or organisation can do on its own. Involving people from all walks by passing our knowledge is a step forward to a better future.
In short: we take good care of the bees - they do all the magic.
While there are many ways to help the environment, Bees for the Planet provides three membership programs: supporting, individual, and business membership, which add value and opportunity for those committed to supporting our planet.

And your new pets will repay you with delicious and high-quality natural honey.

*contact us before payment if you are adopting more than one hive.
Plan: Corporate
A corporate social responsibility program that supports beekeepers and the bee cause. Our project is for modern companies who understand that giving back to nature is the new successful business model. If you are a company that is intended to have a positive influence on the Planet and is focused on community investment opportunities where your contribution can make a real difference, then this project is the perfect fit.
There are many ways to impress your corporate clients and improve your employees’ well-being. Giving them a personalised jar of natural raw honey from company-owned beehives is definitely among the top unique ones!
What is included:
- A certificate that you will be able to hang on the wall in your office and share with all the good deeds of your company.
- At the end of the beekeeping season, we will prepare a report on the development of your hives. It is a significant part of the ecosystem – bees pollinate millions of flowers daily and contribute to the biodiversity around them. We will describe their achievements and provide you with a report with measurable benefits for the year.
- Your adopted hives will stand out from all the others in the apiary with a plaque with your company name and logo.
- 10 kg of pure raw honey for each adopted beehive – great for Corporate gifts and Employees (with personalised labels with your brand)
- Carbon Neutral Company and greener brand.
- Customised value added offers.
What we do to be friends with nature
As we speak, we grow with every day and every new client. We аre doing our best to improve and be more sustainable and environmentally friendly. The health of the bees is our most priority, and to ensure that, we:
- we practice natural beekeeping and keep the bees in their natural environment
- we don’t use any antibiotics or chemicals on our bees or bee garden
- we don’t feed them artificially (this practice is reserved only for emergencies when we need to save a colony)
- we don’t extract honey that the bees will need for the winter, only the excess amount
- we plant pollinator-friendly gardens to support the bees and other pollinators with nectar and pollen
- we don’t clip the wings of our Queens (a practice some beekeepers use to avoid swarming)
- we compost our food scraps and use this compost in our bee garden
- we use rainwater for the garden
Other practices in our operations are:
- we recycle all plastics and boxes from shipping and packaging
- we use glass jars only
- we use paper stickers
- we use paper bags
- we use carton boxes from recycled materials
- we avoid plastic in our packaging
With care for the bees
Our mission is to stop the negative trend of bee extinction. Through innovative solutions and holistic approaches, we protect the planet’s most precious creatures.
