We\u2019re big on corporate social responsibility, and not just because we get a serious amount of honey delivered at regular intervals from our awesome little hive over at <a href=\"https:\/\/beesforbusiness.com\/\">Bees For Business<\/a> in Lincolnshire. Bees are so important to every aspect of the ecosystem around us, and as you may have seen in the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0AeYE6a4KVE\"> recent Burt\u2019s Bees advertising campaign<\/a>, they need a bit of human help at the moment, and really, it\u2019s the least we can do \u2013 they\u2019re to thank for every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/sustainable-agriculture\/save-the-bees\/\">one in three bites of food you eat<\/a> (there\u2019s some pub quiz bee knowledge).<\/p>\n<p>In the time the Bronco bees have been kicking back and relaxing over the winter having a hard-earned break, we\u2019ve been coming up with some new ideas on how we can help our pollinating pals here at our headquarters in Ripon. Whilst an in-office hive might sound like a cool, cutting edge idea that probably wouldn\u2019t be totally unheard of in the digital agency world, it was unfortunately, a little impractical.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, before the bee suits and Queens were put on order, additional space became available on the business park where we\u2019re based in Ripon. Dave and Becky were keen to snap it up, especially when a small outdoor space accompanied it.<\/p>\n<p>The Bronco Garden was born \u2013 the perfect space for our hard-working hive friends to visit whenever they fancy it. We\u2019re incorporating some much-needed bee-friendly flowers, using the organic seeds from Bees For Business, and also adding some bird feeders so our feathered friends can pay a visit too.<\/p>\n<p>The garden will double up as a chill out space to enjoy in the warmer months for staff too. Whether it\u2019s getting a bite to eat in the sunshine and topping up the vitamin D, throwing some mad yoga shapes on the grass, or reigniting a passion for Farmville and mastering the art of vegetable harvesting, it\u2019s sure to be an area that\u2019s enjoyed by every member of the team.<\/p>\n<p>All that\u2019s left to do is get to work and transform the space we\u2019ve been gifted. At the moment, the Bronco garden is looking pretty bleak\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4871\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bronco.co.uk\/our-ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20180320_130441-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4874\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bronco.co.uk\/our-ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20180320_130457-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"The Bronco Garden - Pre Renovation\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, a team of green-fingered, plant worshiping ice-cold-weed-killas are fired up and ready to conquer the wasteland that has presented itself.
