Beekeeper Ben's mission is to develop sustainable and eco-friendly beekeeping methods that not only provide honey and keep the bees thriving, but support farming practices to yield higher crops.
He prides himself on being a family business, supporting other families.
"In order to do this, we need to work together- and we share the example of a bee colony to help us explain just why.
Bees are incredibly intelligent and social creatures, each relying on one another within the colony to survive. The queen of course, relies on the workers to be fed and clean her, the workers rely on each other for warmth, direction and protection. The drones need food and, without others feeding them, they would not survive.
So you see, by working together, they sustain and protect their species, just as we should be doing.
ALBERT EINSTEIN FAMOUSLY SAID,
If the bee disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would only have four years left to live.
No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.´
This, for the human race, means we have a huge challenge ahead.
