Our adopt a bee is a popular item amongst budding beekeepers, nature lovers and Northern Pantry Vegan Honey Lovers! 

There are now very few feral (wild) bees left and the survival of the species relies heavily on commercial beekeepers like ourselves. Your contribution from adopt a bee will go towards ensuring the continuation of the honey bee (apis melifera) and their essential work in pollinating over 70% of our worlds food crops.

Honeybees are social and cooperative insects that live together in nests or hives. They are divided into three groups: the queen, worker bees and drones. The queen lays eggs—up to a million in her lifetime. Most of the other bees in a hive are female workers. Their work includes building and protecting the hive, gathering pollen and nectar, and producing honey. The other bees are drones and are male. Just a few individuals ever have the chance to mate with a queen.
