WIN THIS BEAUTIFUL HANDMADE HIVE!!!

DONATE TO BE AUTOMATICALLY ENTERED IN TO OUR PRIZE DRAW

We have built a national beehive consisting of a floor, brood box, super, crown board and gable roof using 100% recycled materials.  The wood used is all free of chemicals and has come from discarded floorboards and the floor has been made using wood froma pallet, whilst the roof has been covered with drink cans.  

We have worked with a local Makerspace called Ffiws to add some great design work using their laser machine. Ffiws, which is run by Arloesi Gwynedd Wledig, aims to create a community of makers in the area and gives everyone a chance to access high-tech equipment. The project has received funding through the Welsh Government Rural Communities - Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, which is funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the Welsh Government. It’s also part funded by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), Gwynedd Council and Arfor.

                              About the Charity we are Supporting

Founded in 1993, Bees for Development was the first organisation to articulate the reasons why beekeeping is such a useful tool for alleviating poverty while helping to retain biodiversity.

Bees for Development focuses on simple methods of sustainable beekeeping, always using local bees and local materials. They have helped many thousands of remote and poor families to earn essential income to meet their basic needs. Bees for Development encourages farmers to make simple, low-cost beehives so that more people can harvest and sell honey, turning natural resources into sustainable livelihoods with great benefit for the wider environment.

ALL DONATIONS WILL GO TO "BEES FOR DEVELOPMENT" TO SUPPORT THEIR WORK FOR THIS WORTHY CAUSE.

*The hive will be couriered to the lucky winner, UK address only*
