Find Out More About our Bedrock Bees
Another year championing biodiversity
At Bedrock, corporate social responsibility and sustainability are at the heart of what we do. That’s why last year we introduced beehives to the garden of our Geneva office, taking a tangible step toward supporting biodiversity and creating a thriving ecosystem. Through our partnership with local charity Association Printemps d’Abeilles, we’re proud to protect bees and promote biodiversity across the region.
This year, we’re thrilled to celebrate another successful season and another proud harvest. With 3 hives, 3 layers, and 90 frames, our bees collectively visited an astonishing 450 million flowers to produce this year’s honey. Every jar represents an incredible journey—roughly once around the globe in bee miles!
But this initiative is about more than honey. It’s about sharing knowledge and supporting our local community. This year, we welcomed local schoolchildren to experience the world of bees first-hand—sparking curiosity and teaching them about the vital role pollinators play in sustaining life on Earth.
5 interesting facts about bees
Watch bee-hind the scenes of our harvest
Geneva Bedrockers and building tenants joined us for an unforgettable day exploring the hives and harvesting nature’s golden treasure.
We began by opening one of the hives, revealing thousands of buzzing bees hard at work. Guided by Cedric, our dedicated Beekeeper, we learned about the fascinating hive hierarchy: from “worker bees” (living just 4–6 weeks) tirelessly gathering nectar and pollen, to the Queen Bee who sits at the top as the sole matriarch of her hive, reigning for up to five years and feasting on royal jelly. It’s a world of precision and purpose, all working toward the survival of the colony.
After the inspection, the real work began: gently brushing bees from the frames, scraping away the beeswax layer (a valuable product used in cosmetics and candles), and finally uncovering honeycombs brimming with fresh honey. Watch the journey in action below!
