Why are we called “The Honey Bee Trust”?

The honey bee colony is a remarkable model of order, unity, efficiency and industry producing one of the most nourishing products known to mankind – honey. From the age of 13 one of the founding trustees set up and ran an apiary of beehives. Around half of the honey produced was sold to local food stores to generate pocket money and reinvest in the enterprise with the remaining honey used for the family or given as gifts to friends. When setting up this charity it seemed appropriate to name it “The Honey Bee Trust.” The honey bee is a wonderful example of commitment, enterprise and efficient use of available resources. We strive to operate in the same way with the overriding objective to improve, enhance and advance the human condition in body, mind and soul through education, direct donations and the Christian faith.
