How Beesline is Walking the Talk: the Bee-centered Beekeeping Project

Beeganism being at the heart of Beesline, we are committed to supporting the community of beekeepers and their ethical beekeeping practices that play a critical role in the revival of the declining bee population.

One of the highest impact projects of Beesline is the BEE-CENTERED SOCIETY PROJECT, which was launched with the aim to develop, support, educate, and train independent beekeepers on ethical and sustainable beekeeping methods.

For instance, bee-centered beekeeping does not encourage the use of the bee smoker. Smoking bees simulates the sense of a forest fire and bees return to the hive to consume honey, retreating to the deepest recesses of the hive, which potentially causes stress.

In our treatment-free beekeeping, we do not use antibiotics or sugar feeding, giving bees the right to draw out their own comb that is free of plastic foundation and whose cell size is not regulated.

We aim at minimal human intervention by targeting a pesticide free area as a locale, which serves the bees well. We also educate on this approach, to observe and listen to the bees from the outside of the hive.

Our bee guardianship project also allows minimal honey harvest, therefore harvesting only when there is a true surplus since this will benefit the hive by creating more space.

This collaborative flow between beekeepers and the bees creates a sustainable practice in which the local bee population thrives in exchange for riches of the hive.
