As we celebrate World Bee Day on May 20th, we’re reminded of the awe-inspiring relationship between humans and honeybees. A few years ago, on a warm June day, a swarm of honeybees descended into an empty hive in our orchard. Watching them descend through the air and settle into their new home was nothing short of mesmeric—a living illustration of nature’s quiet miracles.
Since then, the colony—now several generations old—has continued to thrive. Another group of bees has chosen a nearby tree hive as their residence; one supplied by Simon Kellam of Just Bee Eco Hives in collaboration with the Natural Beekeeping Trust. These hives are designed to let bees live more naturally, higher above the ground, undisturbed, and as self-sufficient as possible.
We feel honoured to be guardians of these colonies. Their presence enriches us and reminds us daily of the importance of protecting pollinators—not only for the bees themselves but also to protect our wider environment and our own health and wellbeing.
BeeVital Propolis: Natural Healing from the Hive
The work we do at BeeVital Propolis is born from a deep respect for the honeybee and its powerful natural substances. We are based in Whitby, North Yorkshire and have been developing high-quality propolis products since 2002.
