Rowse Hives for Lives is a programme of sustainability initiatives developed to help protect the incredible honeybees and improve livelihoods through beekeeping.
We have three partnership initiatives that support the Rowse Hives for Lives programme:
The Sussex Plan – Rowse sponsor a programme at the University of Sussex that funds vital research into bee health and the protection of honey bees.
BFA Apprenticeship scheme – The Rowse and Bee Farmers Association apprenticeship scheme to help inspire, recruit and train the next generation of young British bee farmers.
Bees for Development – This initiative aims to offer a sustainable pathway out of poverty by supporting communities in Ethiopia to earn income from honey. The project helps underpin the ecosystem on which thousands of rural families rely on for their livelihoods.
