Our Work

A timeline of notable events & concepts


SIS Funding 2026

We have been able to save and relocate more than 200 saplings that would otherwise have faced destruction. Through the Small Initiatives Fund, we have purchased two 5000 liter water tanks,. Next steps are planting and irrigation setup to help these young trees grow and thrive. To be updated soon....



Successful capture of strong colony which gathered next to agricultural irrigation lines in Mtarfa. It was good of the farmer to call us rather than resort to other methods to remove the bees. 4th June 2014

                                                                                                                                 

Swarm Rescue: 2014 - present

Unsuccessful capture of colonies within hollow wall in Umberto Colosso school, St Venera. Exit points leading to urban areas were sealed, leaving one exit/entry point in a safe location. These colonies will be closely monitored in the future since pending permission from school is underway to dismantle wall for capture. 9th May 2014

Successful capture of multi-queened colony which gathered into unused fuel tanks in Birzebbugia. 7th May 2014

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.

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.
