Why Bee Sustainable™?
We often underestimate the power of the bee. The bee’s role in the pollination of vegetables, fruits, nuts and flowers is essential to a plant’s reproduction and survival. Alarmingly, the honeybee population has experienced a severe decline in recent years. Researchers have been unable to
pinpoint a cause for the phenomenon, dubbed Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). But a significant reduction in the number of honeybees will have a direct effect on our own flowering food sources, leaving reason for all of us to be concerned.
As a pioneer in the world of micro greens, herbs and specialty vegetables, and a leader in the revival of sustainable agriculture, The Chef’s Garden® relies on the diligent work of the honeybee. We have created this website as an educational resource to teach you more about the threat facing the bees and what can be done to address it. We hope this site will answer your questions about colony collapse and the Bee Sustainable initiative we’ve launched to help save the bees.
