Our Mission

To provide opportunities for disadvantaged local people (in
and around Sheffield) to find restoration and well-being through: friendship; useful healthy outdoor activity and developing new skills, by engaging in beekeeping and other activities at Bee Blest Apiary – a safe and nurturing / mentoring environment. 

 To help restore dignity to people who are disadvantaged and in poverty, especially in the Developing World, by kick-starting and supporting sustainable livelihood bee-farming enterprises – using resources generated through the sale of Bee Blest produce.

To help restore the planet by supporting the environment and crops
through: good beekeeping, green land management where possible, sustainable practices and also by educating the general public but students and children in particular, on global and green issues through Bee Blest activities.

Our Vision

We work with honey bees to create opportunities and improve well-being
