Inspired by the meaning of flowers, we dug deeper into these in our Spring Meadow Mix, as well as why they are great #honeybee food. Seeds can be found on selected Boland Cellar wines countrywide, sales of which support our #TreesforBees pledge fund.

A Spring Meadow mix sure to bring you good vibes and a buzz to your garden. Find out more about why our honey bees like the selection.

It’s a travesty of justice that those championing for our environment are suffering the same injustices in Rights as that they stand by.
On Asiatic #Cheetah Day I call for the release of former @UNEP colleague #NiloufarBayani & other conservationists imprisoned in #Iran. This Day draws awareness to species loss and the conservationists protecting our planet’s treasures. We must safeguard both in equal measure.

Unconscious farming appears to be the order of the day in our #SouthAfrica #Macadamia production as it follows the horror of trends worldwide with this nut production.
dailymaverick.co.za
South Africa's rapid growth in macadamia nut cultivation has been good for farmers, but not for beekeepers, who are losing bee colonies to intense insecticide use.

In Africa, honey hunters share beeswax and larvae with the honeyguides that have led them to wild nests in a relationship known as mutualism. Amazing and as the article refers, rather magical. A must read. #beeaguardian with #thebeeeffect
