IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BEES 
 

Ten ways you can support the Bee Farmer and his honeybees? 

Supporting the Bee Farmer is a form of direct action where the support you provide goes directly into efforts on the behalf of honeybees and the wider pollinator population. There are reasons why I am not a charity or CIC (Community Interest Company), there are too many charities with board of directors recieving handsome renumeration. It is expensive in time and cost. As an micro company I can be quick to respond to oppertunities and with low overhead more of you support goes in direct action for the bees. 
 
There are number of avenues to support the Bee Farmer. Not all avenues require a financial donation although they are very welcome. Below I have listed the ways in which you might support the Bee Farmer. See which options you feel you may be able to help with. 
Patreon 
 
Patreon is a platform that facilitates folks like you to support people like me. As a patron of the Bee Farmer you will find you have access to information and mechandise before general release, There will be content and events that are exclusive to patrons. That is our contract for your support.

Corporate Responsibility (CR) 
 
In serving CR schemes we have a very flexible approach. The scheme could be a consulation, such as where we mentor Aldi's beekeepers. We might use the foundation course to train beekeepers as for Aggregate Industries. It might be a visit to the apiary to check out the bees and talk about field to fork as we did for Opus Resturant in Birmingham.

The hidden work we do 
The Bee Farmer receives regular calls throughout the year from people looking for advice. The top five questions, in no particular order are: 
What are these bees I have in the <explain part of the building where they are found> 
What do I do about the bees in my <explain part of the building where they are found> 
What do I do about the bee I have found on the floor 
What do I do about this swarm of bees. (Often the insects are not bees) 
Can you give me some advice on how to keep bees. I want to start.  
 
Your support, however great or small, fuels the Bee Farmer to continue working for the good of pollinators providing information and eduction to the public on demand. I sincerely hope you find one of the many options available will allow you to support the Bee Farmer in his work and ambitions.
