Why we do what we do
Run as a not-for-profit arm of the Sundowner group, The Sundowner Bee Rescue initiative was started in August 2020.
Due to the complex nature of bee rescues, even the simplest job will take 1 hour- far longer than a traditional bee extermination (a 5-min job). We were forced to make a choice...
Do we do this for a profit (but be priced out of the market)? Or do we want to do this to save the bees?
The decision was simple...
As of 2022, the initiative has rescued and relocated more than 150 bee colonies. That's more than one million pollinators not killed!
We also run paid experiences such as the Rooftop Farm Experience and Mead Making Workshops. These are available for join-in on the weekends or private sessions on weekdays for corporate groups.
Perfect for young families or anyone interested in nature and conservation, the proceeds from these experiences help to defray and fund our bee rescue operations and upkeep of apiaries.
Our Team
This is our core team, and we are always open to hiring people vested in nature conservation.
