Albert Einstein is believed to have once said that “if the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, man would only have four years of life left.”
And indeed, it's an indisputable fact that without bees, life (as we know it) would look very different.
Why Bees Matter
We could wax lyrical all day about bees, but to put it simply: they are a vital part of the biodiversity that supports the entire food chain.
Bees are the unsung heroes behind so much of what we eat, helping to pollinate around a third of our food. Beyond what's on our plates, bees keep wildflowers blooming and entire ecosystems buzzing with life.
A Fragile Future
Sadly, these tiny heroes are facing threats from habitat loss, pesticides, climate change and disease. Some places have seen bee populations drop by more than half.
That’s a big deal for the planet, and for us too.
Supporting Bees Together
We literally couldn’t make our blends without bees – and consider them our tiny (but vital) co-workers. That's why we partner with the communities that we source our honey from, always supporting responsible beekeeping and helping to raise bee awareness wherever we can.
We also invest in urban greening projects to help create more bee-friendly spaces, and ultimately healthier cities.
Buzzworthy Bee Facts
And finally, some fun bee trivia!
Did you know that honey never spoils? Yes really... they found pots in Egyptian tombs still good to eat!
Bees do a little dance (often called the waggle dance) to show others where the best flowers are.
And, would you believe it, bees can recognise human faces. Pretty impressive for such tiny creatures!
