GermanyI am part of 3Bee's 'Oasis of Biodiversity' project. You can adopt one of my hives. This project allows me to regenerate biodiversity by caring for bees using innovative technologies developed by 3Bee. Here you can choose to adopt your hive from a distance and I will take care of it using the best techniques.
At the end of summer 2015, my sister had to find a place for her two offshoots that was at least 2km away from her stall. The place of her choice was in the yard of our parents' house, about 70km away from her stall. Better safe than sorry. My younger sister and I stood somewhat incredulously in front of the two young colonies and hurriedly called our old friend and neighbour to help, who has been beekeeping for 50 years; because the Carnica bees given as a gift were quite 'vital and eager to sting. He introduced us to the mysterious world of beekeeping and helped us to get through the first 6 weeks with our new caretakers. After the first encounters with the bee stinger, I read everything I could get my hands on about bees, bugged all the beekeepers I met and then I had the best teachers there are on beekeeping anywhere: The bees themselves! Today I sometimes smile about the early days, but it was quite hard at times, especially for my social environment. We collect nectar and pollen in the nature reserve around the Elbsee lake on the outskirts of Düsseldorf and Hilden. Our bees, which consist of around 40 colonies, enjoy the taste of various fruit trees, including cherry and apple, as well as the pollen of lime trees, blackberry bushes and rape blossoms.
Together with the 3Bee agronomists we analyzed the best set of Plants to regenerate the soil, produce nectar and restore biodiversity to the area. Selected dozens of Italian Growers among Beekeepers and Farmers, provided them with the plants free of charge. We pay them every year for every plant they care for and grow. Adopt a plant that helps sustainable beekeeping and farming communities, produce nectar for bees and absorb Co2.
If you choose to adopt trees and produce biodiversity, you will receive a digital certificate with all the impact data generated by your tree: the Name of the Tree, the Absorbed Co2, the Nectar produced. In addition, the link to your digital Oasis where you will see the tree grow and you can monitor it and share it with your friends. Our growers take photos and videos of the tree and the regenerated soil, so that you can get feedback on the positive impact you have created.
