Hello, we're changing the world one #beehive at a time! #Bees, Biodiversity champions, Beehive management, education and award winning Honey. #GenerationBee
Itโs hot. Bees are thirsty. ๐โ๏ธ
Pop out a shallow bowl of water with stones, pebbles or corks so they can land safely.
Bees need water to drink, feed young bees and cool the hive.
Tiny hydration station. Big bee energy.
Not on the menu without pollinators:
๐ berries
๐ apples
๐ฅ avocado
๐ tomatoes
๐ถ peppers
๐ฏ honey
๐น fruit juices + garnishes
Bees and other pollinators support around 35% of global crop production.
A post-World Bee Day reminder. Happy bank holiday weekend ๐
Happy #WorldBeeDay ๐
Bees support biodiversity, food systems, green spaces and a whole lot more than honey on toast.
For May, Plan Bee is offering 2 hives for the price of 1 for businesses ready to make space for pollinators.
Thatโs double the buzz. Obviously.

The bees have landed at 100 Princes Street Hotel. ๐
2 Rooftop hives, one iconic Edinburgh view, and a very careful installation by Brian, our barehanded beekeeper.
Big thanks to Alison for capturing the moment. ๐ฅ
BOGOF on Hives for May!! ๐ค [email protected]
Weโre delighted to announce our newest collaboration with 100 Princes Street in Edinburgh, part of the Red Carnation Hotels family.
Two rooftop hives. Princes Street Gardens below. Arthurโs Seat nearby.
What great views the bees have!
#PlanBeeLtd#Edinburgh#Pollinators
Lynnโs been doing important bee research in Edinburgh ๐
AKA walking through Princes Street Gardens checking whatโs flowering.
Before new hives go in, we look at forage, flowers, trees and green space.
Next week, all will bee revealed.
#PlanBeeLtd
Sir David Attenborough turns 100 this Mayโฆ so weโre celebrating the only way we know how. More bee!!. ๐
For May only: buy one Plan Bee hive and get the second free.
One hive starts the story. Two hives double the buzz.
#PlanBeeLtd#WorldBeeDay#BeesMatter #100
Earth Day ๐
Big change starts small:
๐ A hive
๐ผ A wildflower patch
๐ฑ A decision to act
More places for pollinators = a healthier planet.
#EarthDay#BeesMatter#Biodiversity#planbeeltd
Acorn Court Care Home is sponsoring a hive ๐๐
Backing biodiversity, supporting pollinators, making a difference beyond their walls.

That sting memory? Yeahโฆ weโve all got one.
But hereโs the thing:
๐ Honeybees donโt want to sting you.
Right now theyโre out foraging... not picking fights!! Stay calm. Donโt swat. Give them space.
Theyโre busy rebuilding spring ๐ผ
#planbeeltd#savethebees
Weโre still in spring - and a long way off harvesting honey ๐
But nowโs the time to understand what youโre actually buying.
Because honey isnโt just honey. It reflects flowers, place, and season.
Worth knowing before the jars appear ๐ฏ
Bees donโt visit flowers at randomโฆ they choose them. ๐
If your garden (or your office) isnโt designed for pollinators, theyโll simply move on.
Nature is selective. Maybe we should be too. ๐ผ
#planbeeltd#gardeningday#ESG#biodiversity
Did you know - here is a beekeeping rule you donโt hear often:
Move a hive:
Less than 3 feet โ fine
More than 3 miles โ fine
In between?
The bees return to the old address ๐
#planbeeltd#savethebees#esg
