The bee revival key ring provides an emergency solution to REVIVE an exhausted bee so it can continue its mission pollinating planet Earth. 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. 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.” One great thing about solitary bees is that they’re pretty pet- and child-friendly — they’re a less-aggressive type of bee because they don't have honey to defend,” explains Faye. “They really live in harmony with you and your garden, which is fantastic, because it gives children the opportunity to see and admire them.”

Welcome solitary bees into your garden and experience their pollinating powers with this DIY Bee Hotel Kit, designed in-house by Beevive's very own Architectural Technician and bee enthusiast Jacob Powell 🐝 Is the bee wet? If so, you can place her in the sun to warm up. An exhausted bee, however, will appear lethargic and will probably be far away from any flowers. It is important to note that she could be only resting or actually dying. Bees don't live very long, and if she looks old or is clinging to a flower, sadly these steps won't resurrect her. 2) Stay Protected Custom stamped dual use keyring - Each kit comes with a handful of wildflower seedballs and a pre-filled bottle, containing an ambrosia bee food syrup. Overall, analysing a bee's symptoms and the environment you found him in is essential to saving bees. As we go into spring, you will see them frequently so lookout for anyone who needs an energy drink!To save a tired bee, you should place him on a flower nearby. Sugar solution is not bad for bees, but it should never be used to replace nectar and pollen as these contain other nutrients and fats which are not present in the sugar water.

This 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. 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. 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.” This Limited Edition WWF-UK bee saving kit from BEEVIVE can be attached your key ring for when you are out on the go and come across an exhausted bee in need of your help!

Maintenance of your bee hotel is crucial. Please do not install your bee hotel and forget about it! It is essential for the health of the bees who reside there, but it will also extend the life of the bee hotel itself. In a natural environment the tunnels would not be so close together therefore pests and mould may spread more easily. 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. 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!
