Bees are nature\u2019s \u201cfree workforce\u201d \u2013 they\u2019re the world's most important pollinators, facilitating plants and crops to grow fruits and vegetables and produce seeds that continue their growth. Bees are also very important to us: one of every three bites of food eaten worldwide depends on pollinators for a successful harvest. Unfortunately, bee populations are declining rapidly due to human actions, threatening the world\u2019s ecosystems and our food supply. Today\u2019s guest focuses on  increasing the number of bees around the world.

In this Episode of Sustainability Matters Today, I interview Callum Chambers, a beekeeper at The Travelling Bee Company, and Champion of Sustainable Beekeeping.

By taking care of many beehives, they\u2019re actively helping to increase the otherwise dwindling honeybee population. They relocate beehives to places with varieties of flora, help agriculture by having bees pollinate their farms and even offer bees to backyard-beekeepers, so hobbyists can help prevent bee populations dying out. They offer a wide range of ethical honeys, candles and soaps on their website, and stick to a great ethos in their work: \u201cHappy bees make the best honey\u201d.
