Norfolk Honey - sponsor a queen bee
Sponsor a hive and help to save our honeybees
Sponsor a colony of our honey bees and help them survive in difficult times.I have had several requests that have led me to create a sponsor a hive scheme.
The
idea of the scheme is that it should help us keep different types of honeybees
and put online (in the form of a blog) a record of how they are treated and
how they respond to treatment. In that
way
we will
be collecting data that may in the future add to the body of knowledge that
could
aid us
in
defeating
the Varroa mite and it's related viruses. ... read more
What will you sponsorship help us to achieve?
• Increase the overall honeybee population.
• Prevent more old queen bees from being killed.
• Help us to foster a less intensive and more bee focused style of keeping
bees.
•
Keep some useful data on the colonies and queens that are sponsored
You will be able to:
• Follow the progress of 'your' bees online.
• Enjoy the unique taste of the honey they produce.
You will be receive:
• A big thank you from me in the form of a sponsor's certificate.
• Two jars of honey as a Christmas gift each year.
Every colony with a sponsored queen will have it's own blog where every inspection and the actions taken will be described as we go through the year.
Sponsor a hive for £50 per year
