Enabling farmers to house captured bee swarms in their farms
Benefits of more pollination hence increased yields. Condition of organic practices will reduce synthetics in farming practice. Research was carried out to assess uptake of synthetics to the flower which resulted in an unfortunate positive.
Bee Sanctuary Application PA8421/21
Planting 200 Bee Pollinated Trees and 800 Perennials (guild formation) to provide all year round foraging sources for bees. These will be irrigated using a rain water catchment to a sub surface reservoir which will bring the project close to a closed loop cycle. A makeshift nursery is already obtaining indigenous seeds/cuttings for propagation.
Guild formation
April 1st 2018
Formal Launch of the VO & Various Educational Activities
Various schools and institutions welcomed us to give presentations about the magnificent world of bees to students and teachers alike. As we gained traction, we took the plunge and officially launched the VO on April 1st of 2018.
2020 - Present. Ongoing & Future
Relocating Trees from Construction Sites - Large Scale Reforestation (4,000+ Trees)
We are always on the lookout for transplantable trees in construction sites, large tracts of land for afforestation, as well as collaboration with visionaries. We have the right formula to create new forested areas from once abandoned lands. This concept is already in the works and we plan to deliver a work in progress which is both sustainable and fully accountable by end 2024.
We mostly run on our own steam in the projects we undertake, however a special thanks goes to Garland for assisting our efforts throughout the years.
