Serving a Community of Earth Wise Organizations and Consumers
Friends of the Bees
Friends of the Bees is a charity founded to conserve and protect bees, to educate people about bees and to research and promote more natural beekeeping methods. We aim to work with others to help restore the natural balance between honeybees and other insect pollinators.
FotB owes its creation to a worldwide group of beekeepers who are developing more natural ways to look after their bees. We regularly exchange ideas on the Natural Beekeeping Network forum, which is open to everyone interested in natural beekeeping.
We are also conscious that other insect pollinators, are affected by our activities, and we want to help find ways to find a sustainable balance between honeybees and other pollinator species.
We believe that some of the problems currently affecting honeybees are caused by inappropriate beekeeping methods, and this is what motivates our search for more benign and natural beekeeping practices.
We also believe that agricultural insecticides - particularly the neonicotinoids - are likely culprits in the widespread decline in the bee population.
We want to raise money for education, to sponsor conservation projects, and to conduct research into more natural beekeeping methods.

First there was Earth and then there was Man. And Man reaped everything he could from our Earth but failed to "give back". And then there came a time of reckoning. And Man began to "give back"... Everything started to Change..... The World is changing. People are changing. And business has changed... Every business you find in our ethical directory is a giving business....giving back to Our Planet by working in the Spirit of Harmony with Earth. ...Every member on Pledging for Change is here because they believe in Giving Back in the Spirit of Harmony with Our Planet
Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. -- John Wesley, "Letters of John Wesley"
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. -- Robert F. Kennedy
