#HivesForLives

A short film about LASI’s 'Sussex Plan for Honey Bee Health and Well Being', supported by Rowse Honey through their #HivesForLives programme.

Bees are a vital part of our biodiversity, with approximately one third of the human diet coming from bee-pollinated plants.

In 2009, our Laboratory of Apiculture and Social Insects (LASI) started the “Sussex Plan for Honey Bee Health and Well Being” to address the challenges currently facing honey bees and beekeepers, such as parasites, diseases and lack of forage.

For over a decade, we have been very grateful for the generous support of Rowse Honey, through their #HivesForLives programme, which focuses on supporting bees and beekeepers. Without this support, much of LASI’s research would not have been possible.

The Sussex Plan has been kindly supported by Rowse Honey through their #HivesforLives programme for over a decade, enabling us to study these topics which are vital for the long-term health of our bees and other pollinators.” Professor Francis Ratnieks
