Introducing you to some of the hardest workers on our farm, our wonderful Westerlands bees.
This last weekend was World Bee Day, celebrated on May 20th to honour the birth of Anton Janša, a pioneer beekeeper born in 1734.
The day aims to raise awareness about the vital role of bees and other pollinators in our ecosystem. They play a crucial role in pollinating plants, ensuring biodiversity and food production. However, these pollinators face challenges like habitat loss, climate change, and pesticides.
Protecting the environment and supporting our ecosystem in a sustainable way, while encouraging regeneration are values we embrace at Westerlands and we view our bees as a measure of how successful we are in achieving these goals.
World Bee Day promotes initiatives to protect pollinators, conserve their habitats, and educate people about their significance.
Our 2022 crop of Dexter calves are growing nicely.
