Life of Bees<\/a> website to raise awareness for honeybees in the UK and globally, as well as to look at Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and how schemes such as adopting bee hives like we have done with Bees for Business can reap huge benefits. As hard as we try as a business, we have an impact on the environment, so work like this helps offset some of the effects we have. It also has had a positive effect on the team, not only do we get to enjoy our own honey crops, but also many people in the office have taken an interest in the environment, honeybees and gardening!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bronco.co.uk\/our-ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2-post-image-1024x600.jpg\")

A word from our Director of Client Services Becky Naylor:<\/h5>\n
As a company we have always worked hard to help and support the local community and be part of interesting projects. When the idea and opportunity arose to adopt a beehive there was no question in my mind as to whether we should do it, and when I sought the view of the staff, they were all 100% behind the scheme and excited about it.<\/p>\n
I see it as just being a well-rounded company and giving something back, whereas others see it as us taking major strides in our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). I\u2019ll take either, as I just love what we are involved in, and I\u2019m so pleased we can take on these extra projects.<\/p>\n
The beehive has a great parallel with business too that we can resonate with. Not only do the bees work extremely hard to produce the amazing crop of honey (each bee produces a twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in their lifetime) but it is how they work that is very powerful. Within the hive they need to have great communication and a clear definition of their roles. Whether you are a nursery bee raising the young, a guard bee protecting the hive, or an undertaker bee, each bee works really efficiently together seamlessly for the good of the hive. Along with the parallels to business we are also learning a great deal about a species that many of us take for granted, and which is so important to our food production worldwide.<\/p>\n
What our clients and friends thought:<\/h5>\n
\u201cLove the seeds – have been tidying garden for planting… can’t wait!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cJust a quick note to say that I like the Bee keeping initiative.\u00a0 Although it is through a different scheme, we adopted our own hive last year. Just received your seeds which I promise will go to good use in our garden in Tadcaster. We have an area we have left wild to encourage bees and butter flies so these seeds will add to the mix.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
