The Original Bee Revival Kit - Gold Keyring containing a bee Food Syrup to Help a Tired bee.

Product Information

Like most companies today, technology is a key part of operations for Beevive, for everything from managing sales to connecting with customers and potential business partners. Pesticides are another killer. The easiest way to tell if a bee has been poisoned is when its tongue is hanging out. It's not a nice image, but if your attempts at bee revival aren't working, know that there is nothing you can do at this point. Sadly, bees die all the time. A honey bee colony can lose thousands of its workers each day. Summing Up The bee revival key ring provides an emergency solution to REVIVE an exhausted bee so it can continue its mission pollinating planet Earth.

Solitary bees are a joy to watch and are non-aggressive, therefore child and pet friendly. They don't live in colonies (unlike bumblebees and honey bees) and are facing a crisis having lost much of their natural habitat - they need your help! Made in the UK from sustainably sourced panguaneta poplar wood, this kit is designed to be posted through your letterbox and constructed at home to provide a safe space for female solitary bees to build nests and lay their eggs. Tired bees are slow-moving, lethargic and can be found in the grass, pavement or road for some time or in bad weather conditions. If he's not visibly wet, injured or cold, there's a good chance he is an exhausted bee and could do with a little help. How to Help Like most things, prevention is better than a cure. So how do you support the bees in the first place without having to do emergency Bee-PR? Remember that they are not pets and if you do help a bee out, keep your interactions short to let nature take its course too.Welcome solitary bees into your garden and experience their pollinating powers with this DIY Bee Hotel Kit, designed in-house by Architectural Technician and bee enthusiast Jacob Powell 🐝 If he hasn't changed his behaviour after a little while, you can revive the bee. Offer him a drop or two of sugar solution from your keyring or mix 50/50 white sugar and water yourself. Making up your own bees sugar water is fine, but our keyrings use ambrosia®, which is a ready-to-use specialist sugar water for bees and used in professional bee-keeping. Unlike white sugar, ambrosia's high sugar concentration makes it resistant to spoiling from microbiological effects and can last longer to save multiple bees.

This spontaneous encounter sparked an entrepreneurial journey for the couple. In July 2019, they launched Beevive, an ecommerce startup and online community for people passionate about pollinators. The initial product was a “ Bee Revival Kit,” a keyring containing a vial of bee food syrup that mimics nectar. It allows one to “feed a bee in need” when you can’t find flowers nearby. The idea was a near-instant success, and three years later, Faye and Jake have grown Beevive into a buzzing business. Seedballs are native and sourced in the UK, made from clay, peat-free compost, chilli powder and contain wildflower seeds. Sometimes, a bumblebee queen secludes herself as she is fat and mated, or ready for hibernating. Don't move her unless she is in harm's way or obvious to predators. Placing her on a nectar-rich flower or under the cover of leaves works best as the Bee Conservation instructs. You do need to have a little patience. The average bee resting time is about 30 minutes. Give it time and if she doesn't take it, she either can't or doesn't want it. 5) Offer a Sugar SolutionThis lightweight, smooth keyring, in calming neutrals, is made from 100% sustainably sourced bamboo to assure you that your bee rescues are conserving our (and their) world. So, sugar solutions are a great way to save a tired bee, but only as a last resort as supported by both the RSPB and Buglife, one of the UK's leading insect charities. Think of it as a short-term hit of energy for her (like junk food or a protein shake for us!) However, a simple search online will bring up a lot of conflicting information about how to revive a tired bee. Some people say that sugar water is the best way, while others ban this method. Feeding honey is also suggested, which can actually do more harm than good to the bees. When you see a bee crawling on the ground it can be hard to tell if it's injured, wet, cold or tired. If a bee isn't tired and cannot fly for another reason, attempting to prolong its suffering isn't a good idea. Bees can also sleep, which means it's difficult to know if he's resting or whether he requires your help to support him in his mission to pollinate planet earth. Before you perform a bee rescue operation, here are the 4 types of bee you will come across: 1 ) A Tired Bee

We hope this helps you spot a tired bee and remember to bee proud of your spontaneous encounter today! Dell’s support also came in handy when it came time for Beevive to expand beyond their first product. From the initial bee revival capsule, Beevive branched out into new offerings including wildflower seedballs, which attract pollinators, and a “ bee hotel”—a structure that sits in a garden or yard and provides sanctuary for solitary bees, which Faye calls the “unsung heroes of the pollinator world.” The Original Bee Revival Keyring - Inspired by a spontaneous encounter with a tired bee. This bee-saving kit can be attached to your keychain for when you are out on the go and come across an exhausted bee in need of your help! The bee revival keyring provides an emergency solution to REVIVE an exhausted bee so it can continue its mission of pollinating planet Earth. Regardless of how Beevive evolves, Faye and Jake have been touched by the overwhelmingly positive response to their business —and they hope to continue educating people about the importance of pollinators. “We encourage everybody to fall in love with bees a little bit and hope to alleviate fears around being stung; we love to welcome people to our community,” says Faye. “You don’t need to have a product of ours to be part of it.”When you think of bees, you think of honey. Those busy little workers creating honey for your Cheerios, but you should not give honey to a tired bee. In Australia, it is actually illegal to leave honey out for bees. The community element is a full-circle experience for Faye. She credits Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network with her decision to apply to the UK Dream Tech competition to start with. “I reached out to the community when I first went full-time into Beevive, which was a scary transition — going from a full-time career in fashion design to following my passion for bees,” she explains. “I was looking for networks that would support me, and I met the most amazing group of like-minded women.”

The perfect companion or bee gift for bee-lovers looking for a sustainable and all-year-round bee saver kit.

Male bees can also be found resting late at night or early in the morning on flowers and covered in dew. You can spot these when their heads are down, have still antennae or have fallen sideways. Don't worry, they will wake up when they are warmed by the sunshine. If the bee is drenched and it's not at these peak sleeping times, a sunny spot or a few hours in your house is all that's needed. 3 ) All-Aboard the Bumblebee Bus! Feel proud that you are taking an active part in sustaining our forests as we plant a tree to replenish the sources we used to create your keyring.The perfect gift to introduce others to the world of solitary bees via letter box, suitable for small or large outdoor spaces, to position on a wall, balcony, courtyard, beside a windowsill or community garden. Don't confuse tired bees with resting ones. Queen bees are notorious for being mistaken as tired/struggling bees as they spend most of their time grounded after only short flights. Plant bee-friendly flowers underneath your hotel to give them a nearby food source. We suggest planting a variety of flowers and plants which will provide pollen and nectar throughout the year.
