Why bees are in trouble and how important they are to the environment.

I am delighted to be joined by Paul Hendrick also known as The Bee guy. Paul is the founder of The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland and the only native bee sanctuary on the planet and a 55 acre farm that has been developed and rewilded to a dream place for bees to thrive. Paul describes them as an eloquent disruptor who are trying to do the right thing for the planet.
Bees are good for the environment and yet they are in serious trouble. Nature is depleting. We talk about why a nature-based solution like this is so valuable, what bees do for the environment and how in some countries they are having to turn to self pollination just to grow apples. We also discuss what rewilding should really look like and how planting the right flowers can really make a difference.
At a time when companies are looking to do good and support tangible nature-based solutions I highly recommend giving this a listen and maybe you could find a NBS like The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland and get to visit them and see for yourself what a beautiful place it is and how good it is for the environment.
