Worldwide, research continues into the pressures on bees. Scientists cite complex causes of which disease –  largely the Varroa mite –  is a primary cause and climate change and agri-chemicals are key contributors. They agree however, that well-nourished bees, with a wide variety of forage, have healthier immune systems, making them more able to withstand other environmental pressures.

We work with local/national public, private and charitable bodies to pool knowledge, improve mutual understanding of biodiversity issues and collaborate on projects large and small.
