At Pollenize, we’re passionate about natural beekeeping and its transformative impact in urban settings. Urban beekeeping is the practice of maintaining bees within city environments, enabling us to return to a less industrialised method of honey production by nurturing small-scale colonies that pollinate urban gardens and green spaces.

Recent studies from around the globe have indicated a drastic decline in pollinator and insect abundance, diversity, distribution and biomass. In some studies, the decline is as much as 70%, a staggering loss for our planet and economies.

Insects are the most numerous and important pollinators on Earth. Thousands of plants rely on them to survive, and they are a food source for many animals.

BUT….these insects are in real trouble; insects have declined by a staggering 70% in only 30 years. This statistic is deeply concerning as it points to an imminent ecological catastrophe.
