Bees - With Diligence to Biological Variety

In recognition of the European Week of Bees and Pollination 2016 we want to honor one of the most hard-working providers in our world: Bees. In the summer months we can hear them buzzing around all day fullfilling their duty. Mostly, people reduce the benefits of bees to their honey and wax production, but bees bear far more responsibility. Bees pollinate flowers every day which is highly beneficial for the economic as well the biological variety in the world. A honeybee pollinates up tp 4.400 flowers a day, a furry bee even 8.800. Scientists estimate that out of the 100 plant species, that are the basis of 90% of food the human being consumes, are pollinated by bees to around 71%. While providing the base of the food for a human being, bees support plants in their self-preservation and thereby allow animals to be fed by these plants.

The existence of bees is essential for our world which makes it even more scarier that bee colonies collapse all over the world. If bees become extinct many other species that are relying on them are in danger. BIG BERRY wants to contribute to the preservation of bees and has installed a bee hotel on the campground. Also, we are proud to collaborate with Čebelarstvo Veselič who take good care of their bees to provide them the best environment for their huge responsibility.
