Adopt
a Cornish bee hive and discover the hidden and complex world of the
honey bee. A
perfect introduction to the bee hive and beekeeping without the sting!
Find
out why bees swarm and where their honey comes from. An ideal gift for
anybody interested in bees and the natural world in Cornwall.
You'll
receive a newsletter by email every month full of fascinating facts and
photographs with updates explaining what is going on inside the adopted
hive over a whole year.
This
has purposely been designed as an
educational and ethical gift. There are no consumer goods, glossy
magazines, cuddly toys or any 'stuff' included; there's more than
enough of that in the world already, what we need is more bees. The
cost covers what
is needed to care for a colony for a year so your money
goes
directly to help the bees.
About
one third of our total diet comes directly or indirectly from bee
pollinated plants such as fruit, vegetables and seed crops. Considering
also the wildflowers, trees and non-food crops that are bee pollinated,
it can be seen that the ecological and economic importance of the honey bee
in our environment is immense.
So help the beekeeper keep his bees and
support our environment, adopt a hive in Cornwall!
We
can send the Certificate and Newsletters by email to you or someone
else. Please tell us.
