Did you know that honey is more popular than ever and in high demand? Many people are trying to buy locally produced natural honey for health benefits. That's why a social enterprise called Bee Collective has been set up to support honey production in London.
Bee Collective works directly with beekeepers in the London area, helping them with their colonies and the whole honey production process. Their main goal is to help these beekeepers sustain their practices. In addition, the social enterprise also works to process and sell the honey, selling the products at a fair and guaranteed price for the beekeepers.
More specifically, Bee Collective helps beekeepers in three different ways. First, it supports them by processing honey and beeswax, which allows for more efficient extraction. The social enterprise has a new, fully equipped honey house that beekeepers can use for a minimal fee.
Secondly, they help by promoting the hives, working together to organize events that promote the story of beekeeping and biodiversity. The final way the Bee Collective provides support is by buying natural honey produced by London beekeepers, providing a collective market for people looking for an affordable way to buy locally produced honey. These markets often provide a much better means for beekeepers to sell their honey, as they guarantee a fair price, which many supermarkets and other retailers cannot provide. This social enterprise is therefore helping beekeepers to make a profit that will benefit their business and help them to continue successfully.
The Bee Collective social enterprise was founded in 2012 by a core group of "Worker Bees" who act as advisors and managers of the organization. In addition, a social enterprise receives a lot of support and assistance from partner organizations and sponsors who help provide funding and other support to keep the business running.
The business is also run entirely by volunteers and they are always looking for more people willing to give their time to help their cause. But there are other ways to support the Bee Collective. On their website, they have a wish list of items they need to help the bus
iness run more efficiently.
