Story

Bees for Development helps people in some of the most deprived areas around the world by teaching them to become beekeepers. Selling the bee products they produce creates employment, income, food and helps build communities and provides on-going livelihoods for families. What a wonderful way to help bees and people! We hope you'll consider even a small donation! 

Bees for Development counts Sting, Monty Don, Bill Turnbull, Martha Kearney and more amongst its Patrons and the charity's President, The Duchess of Cornwall, is a beekeeper herself. 

Visit their website and prepare to BEE amazed by the stories of individuals & communities who have benefited from the remarkable work of Bees for Development. There have been poachers who decided to keep bees instead as well as young girls who avoided becoming child brides and now have their own thriving businesses as beekeepers.

I am founder of Unbeelievable Health- an ethically minded UK business which produces plant and botanical based nutritional supplements based on 'health from the hive'-  which combine bee 'superfoods' such as sustainably sourced bee propolis, royal jelly and bee pollen with other beneficial nutrients. 

Bees are at the heart of our brand and we donate a portion of our profits to bee causes & research and help raise awareness about the importance of bees and Bees for Development we feel is a truly remarkable charity which changes lives as well as helping bees! Thanks so much for helping out.
