Sponsor a Beehive
Bees are great, and so is honey. It’s a natural, healthy and nutritious food in high demand across the world!
With a surprisingly low initial cost, flourishing communities is building an ambitious new bee farm on its land. The amazing thing about bees is they are out there anyway, living in the wild. All a beekeeper does is give them a new, optimised home that they get to live in, and in exchange for their bed and board, we get to keep some of the honey.
Once the bees have settled in, they don’t need feeding or much upkeep, and they perform miracles in the field each day, pollinating flowers and crops, before coming home and making more honey than they know what to do with.
So we take a bit of the honey and sell it, and hopefully raise enough money to pay for all the admin associated with keeping Flourishing Communities going. What a fabulous project!
What can my donation achieve?
To make every beehive special, we ask our sponsors for a message to engrave on their beehive. We send you a digital photo of your beehive once it is installed.
£79: Builds one engraved beehive.
- With only £79, you can buy a beehive which would cost £200 in the UK
- These beehives can yield 20 litres of honey at full capacity and can be collected every 6 months.
- With honey selling at £6 per litre, this could generate above £200 a year, just on selling the honey produced!
- The beeswax and bee pollen can be harvested too for additional profit
£99: Buys a beehive & a framed photo.
- Your generous donation of £99 will go towards funding a full beehive with your message engraved.
- On top of this, the extra £20 goes towards making & shipping a framed photo which we will deliver to your address.
Other ways to sponsor: Funding a Shelter
- We are also looking to fund a large shelter for all our beehives. This is a larger task than funding individual beehives, so if you’re looking to support us further, please get in contact!
