Why is Biodiversity Important?

Biodiversity fosters a thriving ecosystem where the presence of diverse species enhances environmental health.

 

Pollinator diversity plays a crucial role in sustaining biodiversity. A wide range of pollinators ensures the pollination of more plant species, leading to greater plant diversity. This, in turn, supports a balanced ecosystem, benefiting animals, fungi, and bacteria alike.

How Best Bees Supports Biodiversity

Honey bees are an indicator species, reflecting the condition of their environment and responding to the same threats as native pollinators. 

 

The Best Bees Company collects data from every beehive to fuel research into protecting pollinators – the key to maintaining biodiversity levels that our food systems and planet require.

Frequently Asked Questions

What other companies in our industry are using your services?

We have over 500+ corporate clients, representing such industry leaders as Beacon Capital Partners, Four Seasons Hotels, Harvard Business School, JPMorgan Chase, L’Oreal, MIT/Media Lab, and Whole Foods.

What data do you provide that would help quantify our work for ESG reports?

We provide you with a report on each hive, after every beekeeping visit. These reports include statistics on hive size and health, quantity of honey stores, and the presence of pests and pathogens. If you take advantage of our DNA analysis service, we will provide you with a detailed analysis of the different plant species your bees are pollinating, and the amount each contributes to your honey. The reports, and aggregate learnings across all of our hives, are testament to your commitment to promoting biodiversity and improving the health of the environment.

Do we need to provide forage for our bees?

It’s not essential that forage be immediately available to your bees, as they can travel as much as four miles to find food and water. That said, local sources of nourishment require less energy consumption for bees and make for healthier hives.  Most of our clients add pollinator gardens, and rethink their landscaping, once their bees are established and have become an integral part of their corporate family.  Pollinator gardens and pollinator friendly landscaping help to beautify your property, provide oases of calming nature for employees and tenants, and can improve your building’s LEED certification rating.

Is beekeeping safe?

We stock our hives with Apis mellifera ligustica, a species of honeybee bred for docility, place them in low-traffic areas and service them with highly trained, locally certified professional beekeepers. Our beehives and beekeepers are fully insured for personal liability and damage.  We can provide you with a certificate of insurance (COI) if needed.  

How much space is required for each beehive?

Beehives take up very little space—about 8 square feet, and require a footprint of no more than 16” x 22” x 40”
