Beesitter

Bees are fascinating insects that can recognise faces, switch between black-and-white and colour vision, and understand the mathematical concept of zero. They play a vital role in maintaining the diversity and integrity of our ecosystem, and we still have so much to learn about them. At Beesitter, we thought that we could not keep all this knowledge to ourselves and had to share it with everybody who is curious and mindful of the creatures surrounding us. In 2018, we took the challenge to educate and reach out to a broad audience about bees through our online courses and workshops. Beesitter was founded as a community interest company just to fit this purpose. We believe that anyone can care for bees in various ways, from supporting local beekeepers and populations of bees to becoming a responsible and considerate beekeeper. All our courses and teaching content are based on a scientific understanding of bees. Learning about bees is a fun way to acquire knowledge about biology, chemistry, and physics, and we take specific care in making these subjects understandable to anyone. We have hope that our action will raise awareness on the ecological and economical importance of bees and contribute to reversing their decline.
