What Our Conservatory Does?

We connect endangered
bee families to bee keepers

In recent years, it has become clear that honey may not be the most important reason to protect bees. This is because bees play a crucial role in pollination, where they use the hairs on their bodies to carry large grains of pollen between plants.

Around 75% of crops produce better yields if animals (yes bees are animals) help them pollinate. Of all animals, bees are the most dominant pollinators of wild and crop plants. They visit over 90% of the world’s top 107 crops.

In other words, bees are essential for the growth of many plants, including food crops.
