The Sweet Buzz of Sustainability: Beehives at Tregenna Castle Resort

Nestled within our expansive 72-acre resort are now four hives, home to thousands of Cornish Black Bees courtesy of Sam Cairns, a local beekeeper. We’re thrilled to bolster our sustainability efforts, which will benefit the environment, the local community (once honey production begins), and the resort itself.

Bees play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity. As pollinators, they are responsible for the reproduction of many plant species, which in turn supports a wide range of wildlife. By hosting beehives, Tregenna Castle Resort contributes to the health of local ecosystems. The presence of bees ensures the proliferation of native flowers and plants, fostering a rich and diverse habitat for other insects, birds, and small mammals.

Globally, bee populations are under threat due to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. By maintaining beehives, Tregenna Castle Resort contributes to global conservation efforts. The resort’s beekeeping practices are designed to support healthy bee populations, providing a safe haven for these vital pollinators. This local initiative has far-reaching implications, supporting the global fight to preserve and protect bees.
