A FUTURE WORTH CARING FOR

Let’s make the next chapter green.

Care for a hive. Know your honey. Share something meaningful with the people you love.

THE RED SIGNAL · REPORTED COLONY LOSSES

Help bees thrive. Every colony matters.

39.9%

Estimated annual honey bee colony losses in the United States
1 April 2025 – 1 April 2026

A visual call to protect bees. The arrow is symbolic; it does not plot population measurements or annual loss rates.

Beekeepers can replace lost colonies. That is why heavy annual losses can coexist with stable or rising hive totals. This is a loss rate, not a 39.9% fall in the total bee population.

Preliminary US Beekeeping Survey: 2,327 respondents; 95% confidence interval 30.1–53.1%. The estimate improved from 55.6% in 2024–2025. US results do not describe global losses or predict losses at your hive.

WILD BEES · EUROPE · 2025

172 species at risk

At least 172 of 1,928 assessed European wild bee species are threatened with extinction, according to IUCN. Keeping honey bees does not replace protecting wild bees and their habitats.

This measures extinction risk, not the percentage of bees lost. Changes from earlier assessments also reflect improved knowledge. IUCN 2025 ↗

THE GREEN DIRECTION · OUR AMBITION

More care.
More connection.

Help support attentive beekeeping through your hive’s care plan. Follow its story and enjoy honey with a traceable origin.

Make the harvest personal: create your own labels and share jars with friends and family.

2026 publication, 2024 data: FiBL / IFOAM reports 101,713,116 beehives, citing FAO. A verified global total for 2026 is not available in these sources.

The worldwide total has grown since 2000. These figures describe managed colonies / beehives, not individual bees or wild pollinators. The chart compares two published endpoints, not annual measurements.

A little more to know

Naturally curious?

Do I own a real hive?

Yes. The intended service transfers ownership of an identified hive and colony after the required purchase and transfer documents are completed. Until then, a reservation is not proof of ownership.

How much honey will I receive?

You receive the actual marketable harvest of your whole hive, after necessary food reserves for the colony. Yield is seasonal and is not guaranteed.

Can I join before hives are available?

Yes. Join the search queue after paying AED 375 for the monthly plan or AED 3,500 for the annual plan. We have 60 days to agree a hive or refund the pre-order.
