Adelaide Bee Sanctuary

Bees are fascinating little creatures that are often misunderstood. The most amazing experience related to beekeeping is simply watching bees as they gently fly in and out of the hive. Bees can become the conduit between two people in that they facilitate curiosity, discussion and more importantly a sense of connection. Honey bees provide a sense of calm for those who watch them, a practice of mindfulness for those who are overwhelmed and beehives are in themselves quite unique in that they all exhibit different personalities, mood swings and periods of wellness and illness.

80% of the food we eat relies on pollination somewhere down the line and, globally, we no longer have enough bees to pollinate our crops. Toxic pollutants, the loss of habitat and lack of biodiversity diminish the health of our honey bee population and this threatens our own food security. Adelaide Bee Sanctuary promotes the discussion about bees, beekeeping and a greener and more sustainable Adelaide city.
