Donate to Nature today!

Every donation goes directly to supporting the health and wellbeing of honeybee colonies while assisting efforts in building community awareness and greater respect for our most valuable pollinator.

There is so much each of us can do to help secure the future of our natural environment. Our one and only Earth is our home and it’s time to give back to what matters to you. We know you’re a great supporter of Australia’s unique natural environment and we really appreciate all you can do to help.

Why Bees? Bees are vital for the preservation of ecological balance and biodiversity in nature. They provide one of the most recognisable ecosystem services, i.e. pollination, which is what makes food production possible. By doing so, they protect and maintain ecosystems as well as animal and plant species, and contribute to genetic and biotic diversity. The greatest contribution of bees and other pollinators is the pollination of nearly three quarters of the plants that produce 90% of the world’s food. A third of the world’s food production depends on bees, i.e. every third spoonful of food depends on pollination. ”Ending hunger is everyone’s responsibility.”

Bees also act as indicators of the state of the environment. Their presence, absence or quantity tells us when something is happening with the environment and that appropriate action is needed. By observing the development and health of bees, it is possible to ascertain changes in the environment and implement the necessary precautionary measures in time.

Just think, your $10 or even $100 gift could turn an empty patch of dirt into a thriving bright native flower garden supporting our most valuable pollinator along with native bees, butterflies, birds while building a sounder ecosystem.

If you wish you could save more threatened species… If you wish you could help conserve, protect and restore more nature… And if you wish for a better future for generations to come – please, make a special gift for nature today.

The future of Australia’s natural environment depends on dedicated people like you. Thank you for giving back to nature and supporting bridging the disconnect between humans and honeybees through urban beehive initiatives, honeybee education and ethical bee rescue.

The Urban Bee is one of South Australia’s most trusted apiary and urban beekeeping organisations. At The Urban Bee, we work across South Australia in protecting and managing the European Honeybee Apis mellifera. We believe that apiculture creates a pathway in developing and building a better understanding of greater ecological issues surrounding land use, food production and the interference to natural processors by humans i.e. native habitat destruction, land clearing and chemical usage. Through urban beehive initiatives, pollinator garden planning, honeybee education and ethical bee rescue we’re working to bridge the disconnect between humans and honeybees building a world where people live in harmony with nature. This would not be possible without financial support from our community. Thank you! If you would like to help us, please make a donation today.
