Story

For 120 million years the bee has danced with plants, making the earth what it is today.


The bees play an essential role in the vitality of Earth. A role of pollination, purification and peacemaking. Bees carry pollen from flower to flower bringing new life to the biosphere and creating nourishing food for the animal kingdom. Their symbiotic relationship with plants teach us how to unite in harmony with the land.


Their remedies also play an important role in our collective wellbeing. From medicinal substances of honey, wax, propolis, royal jelly, venom and pollen, to the pure air that surrounds the hive. The creations of bees are highly therapeutic for the human body, mind and soul.


Today we see challenges bees and plants face. The impact of toxic chemicals, habitat destruction, pollution in the soil, water and air are felt in our collective heart. In light of these challenges, a new generation of Bee Guardians are emerging in a united fellowship who are joining forces with the bees.

"Bees are the voice of mother earth. These ancient creatures work tirelessly as pollinators for plants and flowers, bringing nourishment and vitality to the animal kingdom. They heal our souls through their sacred medicines and remind our spirit of the true interconnectedness of all life."

 In the last 10 years Australia has lost more than 200,000 hectares of habitat meaning many beautiful habitat trees. Creating new cavity sites for bees will allow for natural reproduction through swarming, and the propagation of life.
