Here at Gwenyn Gruffydd we are passionate about trying to help increase awareness of the complex challenges honeybees face and opportunities associated with this environmental issue for businesses, large companies, schools and organisations.
We are seeking to raise awareness of this massive environmental problem of pollinator decline. Businesses, organisation and schools to name but a few have a moral responsibility for biodiversity, health and well-being for our futures. Gwenyn Gruffydd has an effective solution for delivering some of these responsibilities by providing a specific solution to help reverse the decline of one of our most important pollinators, honeybees hence Adopt a Beehive Scheme. Our Beehive Adoption Scheme is available to all businesses, organisations, schools, local authorities, groups and many more. We also offer talks and presentations - all done by Gruffydd, the beekeeper who is Welsh first language and presentations can be done in either language. Adopt a hive with us and you will immediately have a positive impact on the environment. A new hive of bees will be created, this will in turn increase pollination and therefore have a positive impact on the food supply chain. We hope that your business will come onboard with our Beehive Adoption Scheme to help reverse this decline.

What's happening to Bees?
Bees and other pollinators in many parts of the world are under threat and their numbers are declining according to several researches. There is evidence that Honeybee numbers and other pollinators have fallen and are less abundant than they have been. There are several possible causes including pest and diseases, loss of habitat as well as possible Climate change disruptions which are causing disruptions to weather patterns and seasons. |
Why are Bees important?
Bees are vital members of the natural world. Many of the world’s food crops rely on pollination by bees. In fact, it has been estimated that a third of what we eat worldwide involves pollination by bees. Examples include strawberries, apples, tomatoes, other fruit, seeds and nuts. Bees also pollinate plants that we use for medicine and plants that wild animals and livestock feed on. During recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the important service bees and other beneficial insects give through pollinating many agricultural and horticultural crops as well as wild flora. The value of honey bees as a pollinator far outweighs their value as honey producers and the UK’s crop pollination industry has an estimated value that is greater than £400 million every year!
