Help Build a Better Future for Honey Bees, Beekeeping and Biodiversity
Sustainable Honey Bees CIC is a not-for-profit organisation working to transform the way we keep, manage, and relate to honey bees.
We’re catalysing change through practical action: breeding locally adapted bees, supporting ethical beekeeping, challenging harmful imports, and helping restore pollinator-friendly landscapes.
But we can’t do it alone.
Your support – whether financial, practical, or through advocacy – helps us expand this work and keep it rooted in integrity, independence, and ecological values.
Why Support Matters
Most of our work is voluntary or grant-dependent. By supporting us, you are enabling:
- The development of local breeding and conservation programmes
- Educational resources and mentoring for sustainable beekeepers
- Ethical business transition models for commercial beekeepers
- Public campaigns to challenge damaging practices and policies
- A strong, independent voice advocating for change across the UK beekeeping sector
Together, we are working to restore resilience, reverse degradation, and rebuild trust in the craft of beekeeping.
