 We all know bees are really important part of the environment. Here at Vitae Essentia’s base we are growing herbs and a food forest, therefore pollination is an essential process, hence the need for hives and also the importance of supporting these essential insects. Any honey, wax or propolis gained from the hives are great by products, if available, as long as the bees are not left short or compromised. I am happy to keep the bees happy and grateful for the pollination they do for my crops. Previously we used to rent a bee hive, I learnt a little from the apiarist who looked after the hive but things did not work out with a rental hive. The decision was made to keep our own hives, although with a little trepidation at first, learning to looking after a colony of stinging insects will do that to many folk. However the art of bee keeping, for that is what it is, has really grown on me. I love spending time with my buzzy friends and they have taught me so much. I am actually glad the rental hive didn’t work out otherwise I wouldn’t have chosen to learn beekeeping. We all know bees are really important part of the environment.

 I intend to experiment with this garden and see the effects these medical plants have on bee health. Unfortunately bees that are commercially used for pollination experiencing a greater amount of stress. They are moved from one location to another and then mainly feed on one food source, the crop they are pollinating, often this is a monoculture. The lack of diversity in the food and therefore their nutritional intake would undoubtedly mean there is a decrease in the amount of macro (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and water) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). Hypothetically, it seems to make sense that a lack of nutrients would exacerbate stress and therefore be detrimental to the bees health, similarly to humans. It was really interesting when studying the signs of illness in bees the correlation to some human presentation too. i.e. there is a virus that paralyses the bee, one of the signs is the bee loses its hair. The paralysis virus is also linked with low amounts of pollen, which is also a rich source of vitamin B complex. Lack of vitamin B complex in humans can also lead to hair loss. Obviously, the anatomy and physiology of a bee and human are very different but the similarities in these presentations makes one question. Therefore, the aim is to provide a rich a diverse bee friendly garden and observe the impact on the bees. I look forward to sharing my findings. I intend to experiment with this garden and see the effects these medical plants have on bee health.
