Without a shade of doubt, bees – and other pollinators – are essential to our life on Earth. Bees alone are responsible for the pollination of about 1/3 of the food we eat.
During the past 10 years, beekeepers, have been reporting annual hive losses that are substantially more than is considered normal or sustainable. There are so many challenges that beekeepers need to overcome in order to keep their hives thriving. Just think of how many factors threaten bees' lives: habitat loss, climate change, pesticides and insecticides, various diseases and pests, and others.
Our mission with Apiary Adopt is to help beekeepers minimize hive losses.
We see beekeepers as the first line of defense in the mission to protect our planet’s bees. So while working in an apiary can be an incredibly fulfilling calling, beekeeping also involves a lot of responsibility. The balance and wellbeing of bees lay in their skillful hands.
It's hard to imagine how our world would look like without beekeepers or without bees. So our mission is to make sure that beekeepers get the support needed to carry on doing what they know best - keep healthy bees.
The process of adoption is straightforward. To adopt a beekeeper's apiary you have to contribute with 50% of the cost for a PRO subscription (€40), and we'll support the rest of 50%. The beekeeper that you adopt gets access to beekeeping best practices, mentors, community support and other amazing tools, that help him or her take better informed decisions and keep healthy bees.
We currently have almost 1000 beekeepers, from around the world, who enrolled in this program. So feel free to adopt as many apiaries as you want or can.
