We are absolutely buzzing to share that Buckley’s Bees was recently featured in The Guardian!
The article, “Office buzz: UK employers turn to beehives to boost workplace wellbeing,” explores how companies are moving beyond standard perks like fruit bowls and gym memberships to embrace nature-based solutions for mental health.
Our founder, Emma Buckley, spoke with The Guardian about the incredible shift we’ve seen.
As Emma told the reporter: “It’s amazing to see the engagement on people’s faces as soon as we start talking about bees: they get completely lost in the world of bees and forget all about their troubles.”
The piece highlights our work with companies like Green Folk Recruitment, who travel to our base near Nantwich in Cheshire to learn the craft of beekeeping, and how we use hive-cams to bring a slice of nature directly to employees’ desks.
