Why we should all love bees...
At Eat Natural we know bees play a pretty big part in keeping our world turning. After all, they pollinate around a third of the foods we eat, allowing trees to fruit, plants to develop seed and all other living creatures to benefit.
Oh, and they make honey too…Why we should all love bees...

Oh, and they make honey too…Our beautiful hives…
At Eat Natural we want to help the people who help bees. We send disused wooden pallets from our Essex Makery down the road to carpenter Chris Schubert who makes them into our iconic beehives. Then we gift them, along with other crucial kit, to passionate 'newbees' ready to start their first colony.
Sign up now…100 beekeepers across the UK
We've been blown away by the response to our recent call for 100 new 'would-bees' to join our community. Thanks to all of you who showed your enthusiasm for helping Britain’s honeybees. Our search is over and we’ll be announcing our Class of 2018 soon. If you weren’t one of our lucky winners you still have plenty of chances to make a big difference to your local bee populations.
How you can help...What is Pollenation?
Wouldn’t it be great if more people had the skill, kit and confidence to keep healthy hives of honeybees? Here at Eat Natural we make bars and cereals stirred through with delicious honey, so we wondered how we could ‘give back’ to our friends the bees. Our plan? To create a ‘pollenation’, a community of like-minded bee lovers with the husbandry skills to keep honeybees thriving way into the future. We’ve made some firm friends through the years as our army of apiarists has grown.
Did you know...
…it takes about 55,000 miles worth of foraging to make 500g of honey. That’s one and a half time around the world!
