A Bee Guardian is interested, in aiding bees as a species in order to recapture their genetic vitality and diversity. Bee Guardians utilize beekeeping methods that respect the honeybee and oversee the local environment, ensuring it to be safe for the bees. The Bee Guardian is committed to the nature of the bee, allowing the bees to maintain a strong immune system through organic practices and methods that do not overly stress the colonies. In this way our local strains will begin a process of natural selection, building up immunity against diseases and adapting to changes in local climate. The bees will have a consistent home and environment enabling them to reestablish genetic diversity by reallocating fitness resources toward adaptive evolution rather then hanging on the thread of pure survival in a extremely demanding mechanized beekeeping industry. |

| Networks of Bee Guardians | ||
The Bee Guardian Network will form viable alliances between farms and regional Bee Guardians, who are capable of maintaining locality based pollination networks. Bee Guardians will be capable of teaching natural methods to small-scale farms or others interested in sustainable approaches to pollination and bee-friendly agriculture. Bee Guardian’s will also be able to support each other with learned techniques and experience. Learn More |
