HONEY BEE FUN FACTS
SUPERHIVE HONEY HARVESTING FOR ETHICAL BEEKEEPING PRACTICE
Utilizing superhives in honey harvesting holds significant importance for beekeepers. At the heart of Jyoti Apiaries lies a simple yet profound principle: when you harvest honey, you take only half, leaving the other half for the indispensable bees. Understanding that bees are the primary pollinators of food crops globally, contributing to about 80% of plant pollination, our dedication to their welfare remains steadfast. We extract honey solely from the superhive section, ensuring the highest standards of purity and ethical beekeeping practices.
WHY IS THIS PRACTICE SO VITAL?
By harvesting honey from the superhive, we safeguard the bees' health and provide them with ample sustenance. This ensures their vitality and continued contribution to pollinating our crops. It is also aligns with sustainable farming practices. Healthy bees mean better crop yields, benefiting both beekeepers and the agricultural industry.
Additionally, harvesting honey from superhives helps in protecting their habitats, and as a responsible beekeepers, it's our ethical duty to ensure that bees receive their fair share of honey. Superhive harvesting allows beekeepers to do just that.

IMPORTANCE OF HONEY BEES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
MORE THAN HONEY
SAVE BEES
Honey bees play a crucial role in our environment by ensuring that we have enough food to eat. It's estimated that one out of every three bites of food consumed globally relies on pollinators, with bees taking center stage. These hardworking insects are vital for agriculture, as they pollinate approximately 80% of the world's crops. Without them, our favorite fruits, vegetables, and nuts would be in short supply. Bees help transform flowers into the fruits and seeds we depend on for nourishment. Their diligent work not only benefits us but also supports countless species in the food chain, making them indispensable for a thriving ecosystem.
Beyond their impact on food production, honey bees contribute to environmental harmony. Their pollination services help diverse plant species thrive, maintaining biodiversity in ecosystems. This diversity, in turn, supports various wildlife, from insects to birds and mammals, ensuring the survival of many species. Bees' role as pollinators creates a ripple effect throughout nature, reinforcing the delicate balance of our environment. Protecting honey bees is not just about safeguarding our food supply but also about preserving the intricate web of life on Earth.
