Story

For 120 million years the bee has danced with plants, making the earth what it is today.


The bees play an essential role in the vitality of Earth. A role of pollination, purification and peacemaking. Bees carry pollen from flower to flower bringing new life to the biosphere and creating nourishing food for the animal kingdom. Their symbiotic relationship with plants teach us how to unite in harmony with the land.


Their remedies also play an important role in our collective wellbeing. From medicinal substances of honey, wax, propolis, royal jelly, venom and pollen, to the pure air that surrounds the hive. The creations of bees are highly therapeutic for the human body, mind and soul.


Today we see challenges bees and plants face. The impact of toxic chemicals, habitat destruction, pollution in the soil, water and air are felt in our collective heart. In light of these challenges, a new generation of Bee Guardians are emerging in a united fellowship who are joining forces with the bees.

Colony [ kol-uh-nee ] noun. From colō (“till, cultivate, worship”) A group of organisms cultured together from a single cell.
